To qualify for an institutional license, an applicant shall satisfy the requirements listed in § 16.12 (relating to general qualifications for licenses and certificates), including having completed at least 3 hours of approved training in child abuse recognition and reporting in accordance with § 16.108 (relating to child abuse recognition and reporting—mandatory training requirement), and one of the following:
(1) Be a graduate of an unaccredited medical college who has attained through professional growth and teaching experience the status of teacher.
(2) Have achieved outstanding medical skills in a particular area of medicine and wish to practice, demonstrate or teach in that area, but not otherwise be licensed to do so.
(b) An institutional license only authorizes the licensee to teach and to practice in those areas of medicine and surgery for which the licensee is evaluated by the Board to have achieved outstanding medical skills.
(c) An institutional license will not be issued for the purpose of authorizing a medical doctor to train in a graduate medical training program.
(d) An institutional license may be granted to authorize a qualified medical doctor to teach and practice at more than one facility, but at no more than two affiliated facilities. If a licensee desires to practice at two facilities, a document of formal affiliation between the two facilities shall be submitted to the Board.
(e) An institutional license may not be renewed, but, if issued for a period of less than 3 years, may be extended by the Board for the remainder of the 3 years.
