Additional Colorado Medical Board Licensing Service Information:
The Colorado Med Board offers an Expedited Endorsement Medical License if the Physician qualifies. To qualify the physician has to have been in practice for 2 years AND 5 of 7 years preceding the application(PGY not included). If the applicant qualifies, then only the Physicians Exam Scores, Current License Verifications, and a couple of Background Checks are required. For non-Expedited Applications, Of the licensing requirements of Colorado, the most difficult to overcome is the verification of employment and privileges for the past 10 years. A number of Med Boards require verification of this type to the 10 year mark or beyond. Colorado eases this issue by allowing the various programs and employers to provide verification letters on their letter head and do not require a Form to be used. Each additional step which is required adds to the potential for error. This State is one of a few that requires that you have Malpractice Insurance in place before you are allowed to practice in the State. So if you are applying for a Physician License, then you need to shop around for coverage before the license is issued.
