Existing law and regulations require the holder of a license to practice osteopathic medicine or a license as a physician assistant issued by the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine to renew his or her license annually. Existing law and regulations require an applicant for the renewal of such a license to submit evidence to the Board that he or she has completed the number of hours of continuing medical education required by regulations adopted by the Board. (NRS 633.471; NAC 633.285) Existing law also requires the Board to annually request the submission of verified evidence of completion of the continuing medical education requirements from at least one-third of the applicants for the renewal of such a license. (NRS 633.471) This bill: (1) removes the requirement that the Board annually request the submission of such evidence from at least one-third of such applicants for renewal; and (2) instead requires the Board to determine the percentage of such applicants from whom it will request such evidence.
