There is a change in the renewal
process which will affect medical staff and licensed residents who have upcoming
renewals (for registrations expiring on 6/30/15). The New
Jersey Board of Medical Examiners now requires physicians to complete 2 hours of
education on end-of-life care. The following requirement must be satisfied by
licensees prior to their 6/30/15 renewal date.
State Authority
45:9-7.7. Continuing Medical Education for Physicians:
14.a. The State Board of
Medical Examiners shall require that the number of credits of continuing medical
education required of each person licensed as a physician, as a condition of
biennial registration pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1971, c.236
©.45:9-6.1), include two credits of educational programs or topics related to
end-of-life care, subject to the provisions of section 10 of P.L.2001, c.307
(C45:9-7.1).
An educational program that
satisfies this requirement is available at www.nj.cme.edu
Physicians, who feel this education does not
pertain to their practice, can write to the BME to request a waiver each renewal
period.
