Medical Licensure and DEA

All trainees must obtain a State of Michigan Medical Training License and Controlled Substance License prior to beginning your program. Please note that the license requirements are different for an osteopathic trainee versus an allopathic trainee versus a podiatry trainee so it’s very important that you complete the appropriate license application below. Return the application and appropriate supporting documents to Medical Education by April 9, 2010, along with a check made payable to the State of Michigan in the amount of $170.00 (osteopathic and allopathic) and $135 for Podiatry. DO NOT return the application to the State of Michigan. You must have a valid license in place by June 30th, otherwise you will not be allowed to begin your first rotation and your contract end date will be extended as necessary. No exceptions! It takes 8 weeks to process applications so begin this process immediately!
