HOW TO OBTAIN A LICENSE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE IN INDIANA. All applicants must be bona fide residents of the county and State. Every applicant must procure the necessary blank from his County Clerk, fill it out carefully and make affidavit to the same before some officer authorized to administer oaths, also have two freeholders, residents of the same county in which applicant resides, make affidavit as to the moral character and to the personal identity of the applicant as the person mentioned in the diploma. The application blank, when properly filled, together with diploma and ten dollars, must be sent by express or registered mail to the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination, Room 120, State House, Indianapolis, Indiana. Those who desire to apply for license to practice obstetrics must follow the same directions as above, but the fee is only five dollars. The State Board of Medical Registration and Examination at its next meeting after the complete filing of the papers will examine the same and if satisfactory will issue its certificate. (See Rule 49.) Upon receipt of the certificate by the applicant he shall, upon the presentation of the same to the Clerk of the county in which he resides, receive a license to practice medicine, surgery and obstetrics within the State of Indiana. The recipient of such license shall pay to the County Clerk fifty cents as his fee for issuing and recording the same. In case of change of residence from one county to another within this State, the holder of a physician's license shall obtain a new license in the county where he proposes to reside by filing with the County Clerk the license obtained by him in the county in which he last resided, and the Clerk shall issue to him a new license. Temporary permits to practice medicine, surgery and obstetrics until the next meeting of the Board are issued on payment of five dollars extra, when the application is complete and satisfactory. No person is qualified to practice medicine, surgery or obstetrics within the State of Indiana who has not first procured a license or temporary permit to do so under the acts of 1897 or 1899. All persons who desire to take an examination before the Board are required to apply to the Clerk of the Board, who will furnish a blank form of application and also an affidavit blank as to moral character. These, properly filled and accompanied by the fee of $25, must be on file at least five days before the semi-annual meeting fixed by law. Examination for obstetric license is the same as the above, except the fee is $10. The regular sessions of the Board are held the second Tuesday in January and July of each year. All fees must be sent by registered mail, express, postal note or draft. Individual checks are not accepted by the Board. 16-Med. Ex. OFFICIAL REGISTER OF PHYSICIANS.
