Texas Now a Magnet for Physicians
The Texas Medical Association, through its newsletter (Volume 9, Number 10, October 2012) notes that Texas had a record number (3630) of medical licenses granted in 2012. Most new licenses were issued to physicians who did not graduate from Texas medical schools. The article mentions Texas’ adoption of Proposition 12 in 2003 (medical liability reform) as a possible reason for the increased interest in Texas medical licenses since that time.
