MedicalMex lanza un nuevo servicio informativo y de apoyo para médicos con formación internacional interesados en trabajar en Texas bajo la nueva ley HB2038. Este programa se enfoca especialmente en atender médicos licenciados en México, aunque está abierto a candidatos de cualquier país que cumplan con los criterios generales de elegibilidad.

La Ley HB2038 de Texas, también conocida como Ley DOCTOR, fue firmada en junio de 2025 y entra en vigor el 1 de septiembre de 2025. Crea una nueva vía para que médicos extranjeros y recién graduados reciban licencias provisionales o limitadas para ejercer medicina en Texas.

Esta ley se introdujo en respuesta a la significativa escasez de médicos en Texas, especialmente en comunidades rurales y médicamente desatendidas. Reconoce las habilidades de médicos formados fuera de los EE.UU. y ofrece un marco legal estructurado para que contribuyan al sistema de salud de Texas.

HB2038 is expected to be a game-changing opportunity for qualified international physicians, particularly from neighboring Mexico, to bring their talents into clinical practice in Texas.

La HB2038 está diseñada para atender a:

MedicalMex primarily focuses on Mexican-trained physicians, given our deep regional expertise and infrastructure, but we also welcome qualified candidates from Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and beyond.

Texas HB2038 goes into effect on September 1, 2025. However, as of today, the Texas Medical Board (TMB) is still drafting final rules and licensing procedures.

Applications for provisional licensure are not yet open. MedicalMex is currently gathering inquiries and building a candidate and employer database so we can act quickly once the rules are finalized.

Al unirte a nuestra lista de consultas, serás de los primeros en recibir actualizaciones y que tu expediente sea revisado para elegibilidad, documentación y posibles oportunidades laborales.

Based on the current language of HB2038, a foreign-trained physician applicant is expected to meet the following criteria:

If an applicant does not yet have U.S. work authorization, MedicalMex will assist in obtaining H-1B or TN visa sponsorship through its network of employers.

This program offers a realistic, legal, and structured path for internationally trained doctors to begin practicing medicine in Texas under supervision. Key benefits include:

The HB2038 program not only opens a clinical pathway for international physicians—it also provides access to a new income bracket that reflects the value of medical services in the U.S. healthcare market.

These are the average expected wages for similar roles in Texas today:

Physicians (General): The average annual salary for physicians in Texas is approximately $213,818, with a typical range between $138,862 and $254,304, depending on specialty, setting, and years of experience.

Primary Care / General Practice (Provisionally Licensed Roles): Entry-level or supervised roles—such as those available to unmatched U.S. graduates or internationally trained physicians holding a provisional license under HB2038—are likely to fall at the lower end of the physician pay scale. These positions typically offer between $120,000 and $180,000 per year, especially in primary care settings such as family medicine, internal medicine, and rural general practice.

Specialists: International physicians who are licensed to practice in their specialty (such as surgery, cardiology, gastroenterology, or OB/GYN) may command higher salaries in the range of $200,000 to $400,000+ per year. However, under HB2038, provisional status and supervised conditions may result in lower initial compensation compared to fully licensed peers, with room for growth upon obtaining full licensure.

We invite both foreign-trained physicians and healthcare employers in Texas to submit an inquiry. This is not a formal application—just an opportunity to be contacted as soon as we are able to proceed.
