49 Pa. Code § 18.905 - Inactive status; reactivation of inactive or expired registration
(a) A naturopathic
doctor may request in writing that the Board place the registration on inactive
status. Confirmation of inactive status will be forwarded to the registrant. A
naturopathic doctor may not use the title of "naturopathic doctor," "doctor of
naturopathic medicine," "registered naturopathic doctor" or any other term
implying that the individual is currently registered as a naturopathic doctor
while on inactive status.
(b) To
reactivate an inactive or expired registration, the registrant shall apply for
reactivation by completing an application for reactivation on a form made
available by the Board. The registrant shall:
(1) Pay the current biennial registration fee
specified in §
16.13 (relating to licensure,
certification, examination and registration fees) and any applicable late fees
required under section 225 of the Bureau of Professional and Occupational
Affairs Fee Act (63 P.S. §
1401-225).
(2) Disclose whether the registrant used the
title of "naturopathic doctor," "doctor of naturopathic medicine," "registered
naturopathic doctor" or any other term implying that the individual was
currently registered as a naturopathic doctor in the Commonwealth while the
registration was inactive or expired.
(3) Disclose on the application any
authorization to practice as a naturopathic doctor in another state, district,
territory, possession or country.
(4) Disclose on the application disciplinary
action pending before or taken by the appropriate licensing, registration, or
certification authority in another jurisdiction since the most recent
application for biennial registration, whether or not authorized to practice or
advertise in that other jurisdiction.
(5) Submit evidence the registrant holds a
current basic cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certificate issued by the
American Heart Association, American Red Cross or a similar health authority or
professional body approved by the Board.
(6) Verify completion of at least 2 hours of
approved continuing education in child abuse recognition and reporting in the 2
years immediately preceding the application for reactivation as set forth in
23 Pa.C.S. §
6383(b)(3)(ii) (relating to
education and training) and in §
16.108(b)
(relating to child abuse recognition and re-porting-mandatory training
requirement).
(c) A
registrant who has not had clinical contact with patients for 4 years or more
shall demonstrate current competency and qualification to hold forth as a
naturopathic doctor by demonstrating a passing score on the NPLEX Part II-Core
Clinical Science Examination, completed within 12 months of the application to
reactivate the registration.
(d)
Payment of applicable late fees required under section 225 of the Bureau of
Professional and Occupational Affairs Fee Act does not preclude the Board from
taking disciplinary action for utilizing the title of "naturopathic doctor,"
"doctor of naturopathic medicine," "registered naturopathic doctor" or any
other term implying that the individual was currently registered as a
naturopathic doctor while holding an inactive or expired
registration.
