Physician and Physician Assistant Emeritus and One-Year License Renewal
The OMB requests license renewals to be completed by December 1, 2012, to ensure that Board staff has time to review and process all license renewals. Current licenses do not lapse until January 1, 2013.
The OMB is committed to ensuring the continuing competence of its licensees for the protection, safety and wellbeing of the public. Therefore, Physician and Physician Assistant licensees will be subject to a random audit for maintenance of continuing education credits.
Physicians and Physician Assistants with Emeritus status must participate in re-certification by an ABMS Board, the AOA-BOS, the ABPM, or the NCCPA, or 15 hours of CME per year as follows: AMA Category 1 or 2; AOA Category 1-A, 1-B, 2-A or 2-B; APMA-approved continuing education; or AAPA Category 1 or 2. The courses must be relevant to the licensee’s current practice. Licensees who have lifetime certification with the ABMS, AOA-BOS, ABPM, or NCCPA must submit the required CME in section (1)(b) of this rule or section (2)(b) of this rule if renewing with Emeritus status.
Licensees with Active-One Year status will be exempt from the CME audit if participating in ongoing residency training through the end of 2012.
