106 MARYLAND MANUAL
Faculty must be graduates of medical schools approved by the American
Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Graduates of foreign medical schools are considered individually.
The qualification for practice is determined either by written examination
given by the Board, or by recognition of license obtained after written ex-
amination in a reciprocating State, or by endorsement of certificate of Na-
tional Board of Medical Examiners.
Two examinations are held each year, usually in June and December,
in the following subjects; anatomy, medical chemistry, materia medica,
physiology, therapeutics, practice of medicine, obstetrics, surgery, and
pathology.
A fee of $20.00 is required of each applicant for examination. Physicians
seeking license in recognition of license issued in a reciprocating State, or of a
National Board certificate, pay a fee of $50.00. A fee of $10.00 is charged for
certification of credentials for transfer to another State. The fee for review
and evaluation of foreign credentials is $5.00.
During the 1943 session of the Legislature, two bills amending the Law
Regulating the Practice of Medicine in Maryland were passed, namely:
Senate Bill No. 84, making it legally possible for graduates of accelerated
medical courses to be admitted to examination for license to practice medi-
cine in Maryland: and House Bill No. 644, which prohibits advertising by
physicians and surgeons.
The office of the Board is at 1215 Cathedral Street, Baltimore-1, Mary-
land.
