SB 881, titled the "Decreasing Occupational Certification Timelines, Obstacles, and Regulations (DOCTOR) Act," aims to expedite the licensing process for foreign medical professionals, military veterans, and recent medical graduates in Texas. It establishes a provisional licensing framework for foreign medical license holders with job offers, creates special licensing pathways for military veterans, and introduces a limited license for physician graduates to practice under supervision. The bill also includes provisions for health insurance policyholders to select physician graduates under their plans​.
