Dear VISTA,
Thank you so much for helping me with my complex licensing issue. As you know, I had to get records from my medical school overseas, from five medical institutions in the US where I did my residencies and from three states in which I was previously licensed. Furthermore all these needed to be done as expeditiously as posible. I was impressed by your professionalism, your ability to follow through with each institution and to expedite the document verification by using your contacts at the licensing board. Again, thank you for all your help. Definitely if I need another license in the future I'll be using your agency again.

VISTA Staffing Solutions has over 15 years of experience helping the physicians we serve secure new state licenses in time to fill locum tenens assignments. Each year VISTA pays for and coordinates applications and renewals for more than 1000 permanent, temporary, and locum tenens licenses held by the 1000+ physicians working with us. It's a complex, time-consuming process. We have developed the systems, relationships, and seasoned staff to do it better than just about anyone in the nation.
That's why we have expanded our service to help independent physicians and clients with licensure. If you are a physician interested in acquiring a license in a new state independent of locum tenens work, or a practice or facility interested in helping a newly recruited physician get licensed in time to accept a new position, we are a great resource for you.
Personalized service
VISTA's experienced licensing team will make the process as streamlined and efficient as possible. We'll tailor your application to the specific needs of the state so you don't waste time digging up unnecessary documents.
Strong relationships
We'll handle the nitty-gritty details required for primary source verification of your licenses, privileges, education/training, certification, malpractice insurance coverage and history, and more. We have strong relationships with all 50 state medical boards and know how to request information most effectively from each one.Because we work so closely with each board, we understand their schedules. We know when they review applications, how long they usually take to make a decision, and what roadblocks to anticipate. We have the same close working relationship with pharmacy boards in states that require controlled substance permits.
Simplified reactivation and renewal
It can be almost as complex to reactivate a license as it is to apply for a new one. VISTA's licensing team monitors the continual changes in state requirements (for example, CME, fingerprinting and criminal background checks) You will know upfront how new board requirements will impact your application. It's very important to understand the details before you apply.
Cost-effective travel and housing for interviews or exams
VISTA has a full-service travel agency in house to help coordinate travel, rental cars, and housing when an interview or exam is required for state licensure. There is no fee for this service, and we pass through the lower costs we negotiate based on the volume of our locum tenens business. You pay only the direct costs.
Affordable and fast service
For physicians, and facilities working on their behalf, who want a new state license that is not related to locum tenens work, we charge a base fee of $750 and pass through all actual expenses. Because of the volume of licenses we work on, this fee is lower than the national average. And because we understand the working of each state licensing board, we can help you estimate the time it will take to get a new license and plan accordingly.
