Maryland Registration/Licensure
A Maryland license to practice medicine is not required for trainees in the performance of postdoctoral training duties as assigned by the Chief of Service of the training program.
The Maryland Board of Physician Quality Assurance (BPQA) does require unlicensed medical practitioners (trainees) enrolled in postgraduate training program to register with the BPQA annually. The registration form is to be completed during the appointment process. The Hospital will pay the annual $100.00 fee for this registration and will submit the completed forms to the Board.
Upon the expiration of your registration, you are not authorized to practice as an unlicensed practitioner in Maryland. Any person who practices medicine in Maryland without a license or registration is subject to a civil fine of not more than $50,000.00 according to the Health Occupations Article, Annotated Code of Maryland.
