LC 3474 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise medical resident licensure laws

This bill updates Montana's medical licensure laws to clarify definitions for medical residents, internships, and residency programs while removing unlicensed trainees from licensing exemptions. The legislation establishes that residents must hold degrees from accredited medical schools and be enrolled in programs approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education or the American Osteopathic Association. It also revises how telemedicine and emergency care are defined, specifying that certain remote communication methods do not constitute practicing medicine without a license. These changes primarily affect medical training programs and the state medical board, ensuring clearer standards for who qualifies as a licensed resident in Montana.
