Chapter 163.
LICENSURE
The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners adopts an amendment to §163.1(13),
regarding the definition of substantial equivalence and the repeal of §163.15,
regarding visiting physician permit, without changes to the proposed text
as published in the December 17, 2004, issue of the
Texas Register
(29 TexReg 11539) and will not be republished.
The amendment is necessary to establish requirements for medical school
education completed outside the U.S. or Canada to ensure that the education
is substantially equivalent at a U.S. school. The repeal is necessary as the
subject matter now appears in 22 TAC §172.5 effective November 7, 2004.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the rules.
