Fill Out Your L 1124 Form
The L 1124 form is a critical component of the physician licensure process in Texas, specifically designed for evaluating an applicant's postgraduate training and professional history. This form plays an essential role in verifying the qualifications of medical professionals seeking licensure by the Texas Medical Board. Applicants must provide a wealth of information, including their current personal details, educational affiliations from the past five years, and consent for the release of pertinent information. The form mandates evaluations from every medical facility with which the applicant has been associated, reinforcing the importance of comprehensive feedback. Evaluating physicians, holding authoritative positions such as Chief of Staff or Department Chairman, are required to complete the associated sections, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the assessments. The completed evaluation must be submitted directly to the Texas Medical Board through specified channels—email, mail, or fax—to maintain confidentiality and compliance with reporting standards. Both the applicant's and evaluating physician's responsibilities are clearly delineated, making this form an indispensable step in the journey to obtaining a medical license in Texas.

What You Should Know About This Form
What is the purpose of the L 1124 form?
The L 1124 form, also known as the Physician Licensure Evaluation, is used by the Texas Medical Board to verify an applicant's postgraduate training and professional history. It gathers an individual's evaluations from medical facilities they have been associated with within the past five years, ensuring that the applicant meets the necessary qualifications for licensure in Texas.
Who is required to complete the evaluating physician section of the form?
A physician who holds specific roles must complete the evaluating section. The eligible positions include Chief of Staff, Department Chairman, Medical Director, or Training Director. This requirement ensures that only qualified individuals provide evaluations based on the applicant's experience and conduct.
How should the completed L 1124 form be submitted to the Texas Medical Board?
The form can be submitted through one of three methods:
1. By mail—Seal the form in an envelope marked with the evaluating hospital's name and place your signature across the sealed flap. Send it to the designated Texas Medical Board address.
2. By fax—The evaluating physician must send the form with an official coversheet to the designated fax number; submissions from the applicant cannot be accepted.
3. By email—The email must be sent from an official hospital email address to the board. Personal email accounts or those not authorized will not be accepted.
What information is required from the applicant on the L 1124 form?
The applicant must provide their full name, date of birth, TMB ID number, contact information, and details about all affiliated medical institutions within the last five years. This includes the name of the institution, dates of affiliation, department, and the position held during that time.
What confidentiality measures are in place for information on the L 1124 form?
All information provided on the L 1124 form is confidential under the Medical Practice Act. However, the Texas Medical Board is required to give a copy of the form to the applicant if their application is referred to the Licensure Committee for review.
Are there any circumstances that require additional explanations from the evaluating physician?
Yes, if the evaluating physician responds “yes” to any unusual circumstances regarding the applicant's training, they must attach a detailed explanation. Such circumstances could include leaves of absence, disciplinary actions, or suspensions, among others.
How long is the evaluating physician expected to know the applicant?
The evaluating physician should indicate how long they have known the applicant in years and months. This information helps to establish the depth of their knowledge about the applicant's professional conduct and abilities.
What happens if any queries on the L 1124 form receive a "yes" answer?
If a "yes" answer is provided for any question regarding past misconduct or disciplinary actions, the evaluating physician must elaborate on the situation. This ensures that the evaluations are thorough and include relevant context about the applicant's history.
Common mistakes
Filling out the L 1124 form can be straightforward, but many make common mistakes that can delay the process. One of the first mistakes is failing to provide complete information in the applicant section. It is essential for the applicant's full name, date of birth, and other personal details to be accurate and up-to-date. If names differ from those used during affiliation, the applicant must clearly indicate this.
Another frequent error occurs when applicants overlook collecting evaluations from all relevant facilities. The form requires evaluations from every facility affiliated with an applicant in the past five years. Ignoring this requirement can lead to complications or potential rejection of the application.
Sometimes, applicants incorrectly assume all previous evaluations satisfy the requirements. The licensure analyst may ask for additional evaluations beyond the last five years. Applicants should be prepared for this possibility and ensure they have all necessary documentation in hand.
Leaving out the applicant's Texas Medical Board ID number is another mistake. This number must be filled in to help streamline the evaluation. Without it, the form could become confusing for reviewers, which might slow down the processing time.
Providing an incorrect or outdated email address can also lead to communication issues. Evaluators and the Texas Medical Board often reach out for further information or clarification. It’s vital to confirm that the email is current and accessible.
Applicants sometimes misunderstand which parts of the form they need to fill out. Not completing both the Verification of Postgraduate Training and Verification of Professional History sections can lead to further delays. Understanding the requirements for training and non-training positions is crucial.
Another common misstep is neglecting to sign the form. The applicant's signature is a necessary step in granting permission for evaluations and records to be released. Without this, the form will be considered incomplete.
Miscommunication can arise when evaluators fail to send the completed form directly to the Texas Medical Board. It must be sent via the provided channels—mail, fax, or email—without any extra steps like personal delivery by the applicant.
Sometimes, evaluators submit the form without the required coversheet or from a personal email. This will lead to a refusal of the submission. Ensuring that the evaluation is complete and follows all submission guidelines is key.
Lastly, failing to provide truthful and thorough answers about the applicant's professional history can have serious consequences. Dishonesty can lead to denials, delays, or reputational issues down the line. Clear and honest communication throughout the evaluation process is best.
Documents used along the form
When applying for a medical license in Texas, it's essential to have the necessary documents ready. Along with the FORM L, applicants may need additional forms to support their application. Each of these forms plays a vital role in presenting a complete and accurate profile to the Texas Medical Board.
- FORM L-1: Verification of Postgraduate Training - This form confirms the details of the applicant's training and experience. It includes information about internships, residencies, and fellowships, documenting the applicant's medical training history.
- FORM L-2: Verification of Professional History - This document outlines the applicant's professional conduct and history. It gathers insights from colleagues and supervisors regarding the applicant's reliability, ethics, and overall character in a professional setting.
- FORM L-3: Letters of Recommendation - While not a formal requirement, letters from reputable professionals in the medical field can supplement the application. These letters provide personal insights and validations of the applicant's character and competency.
- COPY OF MEDICAL DEGREE - A photocopy of the applicant's medical degree is necessary to verify their educational background. This document confirms the completion of medical education and serves as proof of qualification to practice medicine.
Gathering these documents ensures a thorough and well-supported application. Take care to complete each form accurately. Demonstrating a complete picture of training, professional history, and qualifications helps the Texas Medical Board make a fair assessment of your application.
Similar forms
- Form L serves a specific purpose like the ACGME Verification Form. Both documents require detailed evaluations of a physician's training and professional history. ACGME also mandates information about postgraduate training, much like Form L.
- Medical Board Verification Form is similar to Form L in that both necessitate verification from prior training institutions. Each form aims to ensure that data regarding a physician's qualifications and training is accurate and complete.
- State License Application often parallels Form L because both include personal information, educational background, and professional evaluations. They serve as crucial tools in assessing a physician's qualifications to practice medicine.
- Credentialing Application mirrors Form L by collecting pertinent data from various medical facilities. The credentialing process requires similar information about medical training and any affiliations a physician may have held.
- Peer Review Evaluation showcases similarities with Form L, particularly regarding the evaluation of a physician's professional conduct and competence. Both require feedback from colleagues and supervisors to assess a physician's qualifications accurately.
Dos and Don'ts
When filling out the L 1124 form, consider the following do's and don'ts to ensure a smooth application process:
- Do provide accurate and complete information on the form.
- Do list every facility you have been affiliated with in the past five years.
- Do ensure the evaluating physician is qualified and holds an appropriate position.
- Do have the evaluating physician submit the form directly to the Texas Medical Board via the approved methods.
- Don't send the form without the necessary coversheet when submitting by fax.
- Don't use personal email addresses for submission; always use professional or institutional email accounts.
It's vital to follow these guidelines closely. This helps avoid unnecessary delays in your licensure evaluation. Make double-checking details part of your routine. Taking these steps seriously reflects your professionalism and respect for the process.
Misconceptions
- Misconception 1: The L 1124 form is only necessary for new applicants.
- Misconception 2: Evaluations are only needed for the last year of training.
- Misconception 3: Any physician can complete this evaluation form.
- Misconception 4: Submitting the form by fax is an informal method.
- Misconception 5: Only training history is evaluated.
- Misconception 6: Providing an evaluation guarantees licensure.
- Misconception 7: The information in the evaluation can be shared without restrictions.
- Misconception 8: Audits of submitted evaluations do not occur.
- Misconception 9: Evaluating physicians are not held accountable for their assessments.
- Misconception 10: Email submissions are the preferred method for this evaluation.
This form is also required when current license holders apply for reinstatement or additional privileges, not just for new applicants.
Applicants must have evaluations from every facility affiliated with them in the past five years. This requirement ensures a comprehensive view of their training history.
The evaluation must be completed by specific positions such as Chief of Staff or Medical Director. Letters of recommendation are not acceptable substitutes.
Fax submissions must include an official coversheet. Applications without this can be rejected. It ensures documentation and verification are handled professionally.
Both the Verification of Postgraduate Training and the Verification of Professional History sections must be completed. This includes assessing professional conduct and history.
The evaluation is only one component of the application process. The final decision rests with the Texas Medical Board after considering all submitted information.
Most information is kept confidential. However, if an application is referred to the Licensure Committee, the applicant may receive copies of their evaluation and attachments.
The Texas Medical Board may verify the information provided. Inaccurate or misleading information may result in penalties or refusal of licensure.
Evaluating physicians must provide accurate and truthful evaluations. Legal protections are in place for those who provide honest assessments, but there are consequences for providing false information.
Email submissions must originate from a valid hospital or institution email address. Applications sent from the applicant’s personal email will not be accepted.
