Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 360-15-.02 - Compliance
(1) Physicians will
be required to answer questions on their biennial renewal form which establish
either compliance or eligibility for exception pursuant to Rule
360-15-.01(1).
Physicians will not be required to send documentation of compliance with
continuing education requirements for renewal, unless requested by the Board,
pursuant to Rule 360-15-.02(2). False statements regarding satisfaction of
continuing education requirements on the renewal form or any other documents
connected with the practice of medicine may subject the licensee to
disciplinary action by the Board.
(2) The Board will audit a fixed percentage
of randomly selected renewal applications to monitor compliance with the
continuing medical education requirements. Any physician so audited will be
required to furnish documentation of compliance including name of provider,
name of program, hours/continuing Education Units completed, date of
completion, and evidence of A.M.A. Category 1 or A.O.A. Category 1 credit
pursuant to this Chapter.
(3) If
the physician has not complied with the continuing medical education
requirement by the expiration of the physician's license, his or her license
shall not be renewed and the physician shall not engage in the practice of
medicine. A physician may late renew during the three (3) months following the
expiration of her or her license by presenting satisfactory evidence to the
Board of completion of the required Board approved continuing medical education
hours and paying the late renewal fee. Licenses that are not renewed within
three (3) months of the expiration date of the license shall be revoked for
failure to renew. In order to obtain a valid license after revocation for
failure to renew, an applicant must apply for reinstatement in accordance with
rule
360-2-.07.
(4) Continuing medical education hours that
are used to satisfy a deficiency shall be excluded from the computation of
hours required to be completed for the renewal of the physician's license for
the next biennium.
