APPLICATION for TEACHING LICENSE in the STATE of ARIZONA
A board approved school of medicine in this state or a teaching hospital's accredited graduate medical education program in
this state may invite a doctor of medicine to provide and promote professional education through lectures, clinics or demonstrations. The
doctor of medicine is prohibited from opening an office or designating a place to meet patients or receive calls relating to the practice of
medicine in this state outside of the facilities and programs of the approved school or teaching hospital.
To receive a teaching license, the doctor of medicine shall:
1. Complete an application as prescribed by the board.
2. Pay all required fees.
3. Meet the basic requirements of the Arizona Revised Statute section 32-1422 except for those relating to completing an approved
hospital internship, residency or clinical fellowship program.
A teaching license is limited to a one year period. The doctor of medicine may reapply annually for no more than a total of four years. With
each reapplication the doctor of medicine must submit all required fees and a petition from the school or teaching hospital asking the board
for continuation of the teaching license.
The holder of a teaching license is not exempt from the requirements of the Arizona Revised Statutes and rules with the exception of the
training and examination requirements.
A doctor of medicine holding a current teaching license at an approved school of medicine may convert that license into an active license
by filing an application and meeting all applicable requirements.
In addition to the appropriate completion of the applicable sections of this application, the applicant will submit the
following:
1. Evidence of name and date of birth: a copy of U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, Permanent resident card, naturalization certificate or visa. (Do
not submit originals.)
2. Evidence of U.S. Citizenship, U.S. National Status or Alien Status as required by A.R.S. Sec. 41-1080 (A). Acceptable forms of evidence are
contained in the link provided. azmd.gov/PhysicianCenter/NewAZLicense.aspx
3. Signed copy of the Arizona Statement of Citizenship or Alien Status For State Public Benefits. See link provided for the document. azmd.gov/
PhysicianCenter/NewAZLicense.aspx
4. Copy of M.D. degree diploma, transcript or letter evidencing applicant graduated from an approved medical school. If applicant graduated from
an unapproved school, the application will be submitted to the Board to determine whether the medical education received is the equivalent. The burden of
proof is on the applicant to demonstrate the medical education received is the equivalent of an approved school. Applicant may wish to consult A.R.S.
Sec.32-1423 for guidance as to the factors the Board may consider when determining equivalency.
5. Check, Money Order or Payment Card Authorization form (see attached) for the nonrefundable fee in the amount of $250 (US dollars only).
Applications submitted without the fee will not be processed.
6. Verification of licensure from every state in which the applicant has held a license. Verification must be sent directly from the state licensing
board issuing the license and be addressed to the Arizona Medical Board.
7. The Board will, promptly and in writing, notify the applicant of any deficiency in the application that prevents the license from being processed.
8. On request, the Board shall grant an applicant who disagrees with the statement of deficiency a hearing before the Board at its next regular
meeting if there is time at that meeting to hear the matter. The Board shall not delay this hearing beyond one regularly scheduled meeting. At any hearing
granted pursuant to this subsection, the burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate that the alleged deficiencies do not exist.
9. Submit a full set of fingerprints to the board for the purpose of obtaining a state and federal criminal records check pursuant to section 41-1750
and Public Law 92-544. The department of public safety may exchange this fingerprint data with the federal bureau of investigation.
