Retired doctors, out-of-state health care providers contacted to help Texas fight coronavirus

Wednesday evening, the Texas Medical Board sent an email to its members, asking for their assistance.

The email was titled "Call For Retired Licensees and Out-Of-State Providers," and in it, the Texas Medical Board reminded their members that retirees and out-of-state doctors and other healthcare professionals can currently fast-track the process to come work in Texas, thanks to an executive order Governor Greg Abbott signed in March.

"We encourage our Texas licensees to share this information with any out-of-state or recently retired colleagues that you may know," the email finished.
