How is the process to get license in Illinois? Does APMLE exams transfer or have to pay fees or something? I am confused. Read something about their own part 3 test, PM-Lexis or something.

"Submit one of the following:
a) Supporting Document VE must be completed to provide documentation of active practice; or
b) Copy of DD214 if restoring after active military service; or
c) Proof of successful completion of a written clinical competency examination (PM LEXIS) within one year ofapplication for restoration."

Looks like you can just submit Verification of Employment and be done with it.

So is PM lexis examination required in addition to APMLE part 3?

Doesn't seem like it. Instructions say submit one of the above.
Even in exam verification section it just says Part I + II

Think you're fine with EV from what I re-read multiple times.

"PMLexis" is just the old school term for pt3...

The NBPME does charge insane fee for proof of passing BPMLE to state boards. It's way too much... I think around $100, very stupid.

Good. Just read on Illinois board and it still mentions it.

Another money grab, similar to Part II CSPE

FYI, it takes forever to get the license. Took me over 8 months and I had to drive to Springfield to finally get mine.

Who are those people? I could never figure that out. They seemed like the most shadowy of all shadow podiatry orgs. I need to get involved with them...
