Stricter requirements sought for relicensure as medical boards draft proposal
December 16th, 2007 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
State medical board leaders are exploring a new way to assure the public that physicians retain skills throughout their careers. But some doctors say the boards’ plan is just more busywork.
Board leaders are working on an initiative to expand the requirements for maintenance of licensure, a process in which doctors demonstrate continued competence at the time of relicensing. In most states, physicians can maintain their licenses just by having no disciplinary actions against them and by completing a minimum number of hours of continuing medical education.
