Can anyone provide insight, please re: the TX medial board "active practice of medicine" requirement. The eligibility checklist states "have practiced medicine full-time (at least 20 hours per week for 40 weeks) for one of the two years preceding the date of application".
1. Is it literally that the two years preceding the date of application are divided in two and each of those years is examined individually? Or is it any year-long period within the two years? For example, what if someone has a baby in one year (and takes significant maternity leave) and then has another baby the next year (and takes significant maternity leave again). Each individual year wouldn't fulfill the requirement but there could exist a year-long period within the two years that does fulfill the requirement.
2. Is this calculated as an average?
3. How is this investigated? I didn't see anything in the application materials asking a question about this (even in the form that would be given to an applicant's employers from the past 5 years).
Thank you!
