I'm moving to Texas July 2010 for fellowship and am licensed in my current state. I have the option of obtaining a "physician in training permit" or a full license in Texas.
I've gathered that the full license is much more expensive, time consuming to obtain, is generally required for moonlighting, and requires the jurisprudence exam.
My question is- with a permit will I be able to write/call in prescriptions? Could I call in antibiotics for a friend for example? Could I sign documents that generally require a license such as a handicap placard for a patient?
My pride just won't let me go back to being a little boy. If there is any other real disadvantage to the permit I appreciate the advice.
