An application fee may be refunded under certain circumstances, however, other surcharges and fees assessed at the time of application are non-refundable. \n\nTemporary Medical Physicist Licenses \n\nTemporary licenses are issued for a one-year period, and the work experience must be under the supervision of a licensed medical physicist holding a license in the specialty area. The holder of a temporary license may apply for up to twelve temporary licenses. Upon application for the seventh (7th) temporary license, the Board shall perform an evaluation of an applicant's progress toward certification in a medical physicist area of specialty outlined in Chapter 189, Rule §189.8. If this evaluation determines that satisfactory progress has not been made toward completion of a medical physicist certification, an application for an additional temporary license may be denied.\n\nTexas has a two-stage application process - Pre-Licensure/Screening and Licensing. Both stages use the License Application Messaging and Status (LAMAS) system that allows applicants the ability to submit required documents and review the status of their application in real-time. LAMAS is also mobile-compatible so applicants can capture and submit document images from their smart devices. Many of the required documents can be submitted via LAMAS except for items that are required to be submitted by a third-parties. \n\n\nStage 1 - Pre-Licensure/Screening \n\nAfter submitting your application online, applicants will receive an e-mail regarding supplemental documentation requirements and how to log into the LAMAS system which is accessed through My TMB. These supplemental documents are generated based on your application. \n\n\nSubmit the documents listed in the LAMAS system. Supporting documents from third-parties can be sent to the Board using the US Postal Service, a private overnight delivery service, or fax if indicated in the instructions. We recommend using one of the private overnight delivery services that allow tracking to submit all required items. These services require delivery to a physical address and a phone number. Delivery by a private overnight service to our physical address usually allows you to obtain immediate online confirmation of delivery from the carrier. \n\nDuring Pre-licensure/Screening, the documentation requested is based on the standard requirements for licensure and information provided with the application. Documents are not reviewed for content during the pre-licensure stage and additional information may be required once an application has been moved to Licensing. Completing Stage 1 (Pre-Licensure/Screening) does not mean you are eligible for licensure. Only after you complete Stage 2 (Licensing) are you determined to be ready for licensure. \n\n\n\nStage 2 - Licensing \n\nYou've submitted all of the documents required for your application in Pre-Licensure/Screening. \n\n\nYour application has been assigned to a licensing analyst. \n\n\nKeep checking your email and LAMAS. Your licensing analyst will email you requests for additional items. \n\n\nIndividual application processing time will vary based on the complexity of the application. Factors that increase the processing time may include, but are not limited to, answering \"yes\" to any of the Professionalism questions on the application or failing to follow instructions when submitting documentation. However, failing to answer application questions truthfully may be considered falsification of your application, will increase the processing time of your application, and could result in punitive action by the Board."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/apply-renew/other-permits-and-licenses/medical-physicist-license-application"}],"ceterms:offeredBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-f6511b35-e860-4c08-a5ff-a49dd3a7e01d"],"ceterms:inLanguage":["en"],"ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The Texas Medical Board issues a Medical Physicist license (MP) and a Temporary Medical Physicist license (TMP) to qualified individuals to practice medical radiological physics in Texas in the following specialties: Diagnostic Radiological Physics, Therapeutic Radiological Physics, Medical Nuclear Physics, and Medical Health Physics."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://www.tmb.state.tx.us/apply-renew/other-permits-and-licenses/medical-physicist-license-application","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}}}
