Many universities offer graduate programs in medical informatics for people who already have MDs. For example, Harvard and MIT have a joint masters program in medical informatics offered through the health sciences technologies division. The URL is: hst.mit.edu. You might consider this as a way to break into the field.
I am pretty sure that this only applies to doctors who have already passed the Medical Boards but now under new licensing requirements must take them again every 10 years and unfortunately failed one of the repeated testings.
This is primarily a problem for specialists who pass their specialty boards but have been away from general practice long enough and don't pass the generals.
Actually, legal issues surrounding this may have already been addressed in the medical world. One of the original polio (I think) vaccines worked like this: the vaccine although "harmless" was still a contagious virus and thus if one person were vaccinated, people around that person could "catch" the vaccine. I don't remember too many of the details, but I do remember learning about contagious vaccines in an immunology course and I think polio was the first one and that it did work. However, I don't remember how long it was used for and whether or not contagious vaccines are still in use.

I'm sure those numbers would be a lot higher if they could have reached those lost souls who have been abducted, but not returned. :)
