Keywords: TMB  

Texas Medical Board (TMB) officials say they have cleared up the backlog of physicians applying for a license to practice medicine in Texas. "Only 33 applications were awaiting screening in June, and the oldest was only 14 days old," TMB said in a news release. "As recently as five months ago, there were 507 applications backlogged, with the average age of 90 days."

TMB said it took an average of 44 days to process a license application in June. The processing time took an average of 100 days in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
