A fee is exacted for those who are applying for an Oregon medical license. This fee varies for the specific type of license being applied for, but is a non-refundable fee for all licenses. If the individual fails the tests to be licensed to practice medicine in the state of Oregon, he or she does not receive a refund for the test. If the test is missed either through the fault of the individual or the any reason other than Oregon canceling the test, the fee is not returned. The individual who obtains the license is also responsible for a yearly fee to maintain the license.



Once an Oregon medical license is obtained, the licensed individual is responsible for his or her continued education. This continued education helps to ensure that the individual is up to date with the current medical practices and procedures. Medicine is a fluid field with many new advances occurring on a regular basis. This can easily cause a medical professional to lose track of the newest techniques and therefore be unable to provide the best treatments for his patients. The continued learning programs ensure that this does not occur. These programs are tracked through the continued learning credits that an individual receives and a professional must maintain a certain number of credits to receive a renewal once his license expires.



For those medical professionals in Oregon and the rest of United States, obtaining a license is only part of the medical practice. The maintaining of that license is an involved task that requires work and dedication. Those looking to practice in Oregon must follow all regulations regarding the Oregon medical license application and renewals.
