27. I haven't been practicing medicine for a while. Is that a problem?

Maybe. In order to be eligible for physician licensure in Texas you must prove that you have actively diagnosed or treated patients, have been participating in post-graduate training, or have been on the active teaching faculty of a medical school within the last three years preceding the date of your application. If you don't meet that requirement, the Executive Director may determine that certain conditions must be met before licensure can be granted.
