PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT

Please note that an application fee only extends an initial license to the next renewal date. Initial licenses do vary in duration. It is the responsibility of all licensees to renew their license before expiration. Failure to renew shall result in automatic forfeiture or suspension of the license by statute. Licenses which have forfeited are not automatically entitled to renew.

How do I start the application process for licensure?

The applicant should create or login to their MySD Account. All applications types can be found through this account. Tutorials on how to create a MySD Account and starting an application can be found here: https://www.sdbmoe.gov/sdbmoe-training-tutorials/.
