Application for Initial Medical Licensure

In conjunction with the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), the Maryland Board of Physicians is pleased to offer the Uniform Application (UA) for Initial Medical Licensure in Maryland. The UA improves license portability by eliminating the need for practitioners to re-enter core information when applying for licensure. Please note the UA does not replace the MBP licensure application.
