Application Instructions
Step 1: Request Part I/II/III score reports and disciplinary report from the Federation of Podiatric Medical Boards (FPMB)
All reports should be ordered online at
fpmb.org
. Please request all reports be sent directly to the State Medical Board of Ohio at
license@med.ohio.gov
.
Step 2: Request FBI and Ohio BCI Background Record Checks
The board strongly encourages prospective applicants to complete their background checks as soon as they know that they will be applying for Ohio licensure. There is no need to wait until an application is submitted to start the background check process. The board will retain the background check results for up to one year upon receiving them. Once an application has been submitted to the board, its status will be updated to reflect receipt of the results.
Results MUST be sent directly from the vendor to the State Medical Board of Ohio; the Board will not accept results from the applicant or a third party.
All applicants for licensure are required to complete an FBI and Ohio BCI criminal records check. View instructions in the
background check packet
or by watching the
instructional video
below.
Step 3: Complete the
Certificate of Postgraduate Training form
.
Complete the top portion and forward it to the institution where you completed at least 12 months of accredited podiatric training.
The school should email the completed form directly to the State Medical Board of Ohio at
license@med.ohio.gov
.
Step 4: Request license verifications from any state or jurisdiction where you currently hold or previously held a professional license. The State Medical Board of Ohio prefers verifications be delivered by email (
license@med.ohio.gov
) or fax (614.466.1464).
Step 5: Complete and Submit the Ohio Physician Licensure Application
The Ohio physician licensure application must be submitted and paid online through
eLicense.ohio.gov
.
The $305, nonrefundable application fee can be paid with Visa, MasterCard or Discover.

Please note: the Medical Board is unable to confirm receipt of background checks or other supporting documents prior to an application being submitted.
Once an application has been submitted, any documents that have been previously received will be attached to the application. In order to efficiently process your application, please do not submit or email documents to the board that are not specifically required as part of the application. Board staff will contact you directly in the event that further information or additional documentation is necessary to process your application. Please allow the board 10 business days to perform an initial review of your application. After that time, you may check the status of your application by logging into
eLicense
and navigating to your license application. Select the Options tab and the Review Status option. Any outstanding items will be listed in the ‘Comments’ section at the bottom of the page.
