MEDICAL LICENSURE RESOURCES

The MSMS Committee on Medical Licensure & Discipline reminds MSMS members that the deadline to renew medical licenses is January 31 every year.

The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Bureau of Health Professions typically sends medical license renewal applications by mail to current licensed physicians approximately 45 days prior to the deadline. Physicians who have not yet received their renewal forms in the mail may contact MDCH Bureau of Health Professions at 517-335-0918 or bhpinfo@michigan.gov.

Also, physicians may renew their licenses online at www.michigan.gov/mylicense within the 60-day grace period following their expiration date. Physicians whose licenses have been expired for more than 60 days must apply for relicensure. 

The MSMS Committee on Medical Licensure & Discipline serves as a liaison to the MDCH's Bureau of Health Professions and the Michigan Board of Medicine, and seeks and supports measures that will promote a fully effective Board of Medicine.

Regarding continuing medical education (CME) requirements for licensure, the MSMS Foundation delivers a host of educational seminars and programs throughout the year. Find more details and dates in the latest Education Update [pdf].

Every year, MSMS includes an updated CME Recordkeeping Folder [pdf] in a January issue of Medigram newsletter. For more information about CME requirements or MSMS Foundation educational programs, contact Rebecca Blake at 517-336-5729 or rblake@msms.org.
