The Ohio Medical Board has to be one of the most “Unfriendly” Medical Boards when it comes to how they treat Physician Applicants. If it were not for the population of Ohio, which is diminishing, this Medical Board would be one which Physicians should avoid. There are a number of reasons why this is the case.

The first and foremost reason that the Ohio Medical Board has this dubious honor concerns how they handle any “yes” answer to negative questions provided on their application. If a Physician answers “yes” to a question which concerns Arrests, Board Actions, Disciplinary Actions, Probation while in Training, Issues with Past Employment, and the like, the Ohio Medical Board will refer the application to the Attorney Generals’ Office for Investigation. Yes, the Attorney Generals Office. Any Yes answer besides those relating to Malpractice Complaints are handle in this manner. Pure Lunacy. They treat the Physician as if he or she were a criminal. They might as well send them through a TSA Full Body Cavity Search.

Second, the Ohio Medical Board is does not like to communicate with the applicants. The speed at which the Licensure Process can be moved through the Government Bureaucracy is dependent upon knowing what items are deficient or missing. If the Board does not communicate this regularly to the Physician, then the process can become severely bogged down. This is true for the Ohio Medical Board and the Tennessee Medical Board. In dealing with Ohio, you get the sense that they do not want to issue licenses to new Physicians.

The Residents of Ohio are in for a rude awakening. Ohio is bleeding off physicians to States where Economic Growth and Low Taxes are the the norm. If you place additional, artificial walls to new Physicians who want to come to your State, then don’t be surprised if they chose Job Opportunities in States which are more Physician Friendly.

The time it takes to obtain a Ohio Medical License can vary. So much is dependent upon FCVS. If the Physician has an FCVS packet in place, then the process will run 2-4 months. If the FCVS packet is not in place, then the process can run 3-12 months. FCVS has difficulties in verifying the Medical School of Foreign Physicians and this leads to the longer licensure time frames. Nothing can be done to expedite this outside of setting up the FCVS packet well in advance of the Ohio Medical License Application.

We recommend that any physician which light to high negative issues avoid Ohio. There are many other State Medical Boards that do not assume you are Guilty until proven otherwise. If the Medical Board refers the application to the Attorney Generals office, the application will sit Stagnant for 6 to 12 months awaiting the AG to complete their “investigation”. Who has 6 to 12 months to start their life again?
