Broader license exemption for visiting team doctors
Effective immediately, Pennsylvania's visiting-team license exemption covers doctors licensed in good standing in another state or country. Doctors traveling with a sports team can practice without a Pennsylvania license for up to 45 days per sporting event. A separate exemption lasts for the time certified by a national sports governing body, up to 45 days. To exceed either limit, doctors must request an extension from the board in advance and receive approval.
