12 AAC 40.200 - General requirements
(a) A physician, osteopath, or podiatrist
seeking renewal of a license shall obtain
(1)
an average of 25 credit hours of continuing medical education during each year
of the previous license period; and
(2) at least two of the total hours required
to qualify for renewal must be education in pain management and opioid use and
addiction, unless the licensee provides a certification under
12 AAC 40.220 that the licensee
does not currently hold a valid federal Drug Enforcement Administration
registration number.
(b)
If a licensee fails to meet continuing medical education requirements due to
illness or other extenuating circumstances, the licensee may request an
extension of time in order to comply with those requirements. The request for
an extension must be made on the licensee's application for license renewal.
The board, or its designee, will only consider a request for extension if the
licensee also agrees to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the board
that specifies the date within the licensing period by which the licensee will
meet the continuing education requirements and the licensee's agreement to
voluntarily surrender the license to the board if the licensee fails to comply
with the memorandum of agreement. The board, or its designee, will evaluate the
request and proposed memorandum of agreement on an individual basis. If
approved, the board, or its designee, will grant the extension of time and
issue the renewed license for the next licensing period, effective from the
date of the approval of the agreement.
