This is a great deal for new, unlicensed physicians. In an effort to recruit and retain physicians in New Mexico, the New Mexico Medical Board (NMMB) is waiving the application fee for physicians who choose New Mexico as their first state of licensure.
According to the NMMB April 2008 Newsletter, “The NMMB voted to waive the application fee on a trial basis in an effort to recruit and retain physicians in New Mexico.The authority to waive the fee just passed the 2008 Legislature and was signed by Governor Richardson pursuant to Senate Bill 127.”
