1. A board of county commissioners may petition the Board of Medical Examiners to

of that county as that term is defined by regulation by the Board of Medical Examiners. The Board of Medical Examiners may waive that requirement and issue a license if

Canada in a program approved by the Board, the Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Collège

medicine in this State restricted to practice in the medically underserved area of
the county which petitioned for the waiver only. A person may apply to the Board of Medical Examiners for renewal of that restricted
license every 2 years after being licensed. 3. Any person holding a restricted license pursuant to subsection 1 who completes
3 years of full-time practice under the restricted license may apply to the Board
for an unrestricted license. In considering an application for an unrestricted license pursuant to this subsection,
the Board shall require the applicant to meet all statutory requirements for licensure
in effect at the time of application except the requirements of paragraph (c) of subsection
2 of NRS 630.160 .
