64B15-13.001Continuing Education for Biennial Renewal

The Board of Osteopathic Medicine hereby gives notice:

On December 9, 2015, an Order was filed on a Petition for Waiver or Variance. The Petition for Waiver or Variance was filed by Christian J. Baddour, D.O., on October 21, 2015, seeking a waiver or variance from Rule 64B15-13.001, F.A.C., with regard to the requirements for biennial renewal continuing medical education. The Notice was published in Volume 41, No. 206, of the Florida Administrative Register, on October 22, 2015. The Board, at its meeting held on November 13, 2105, voted to deny the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate a substantial hardship; that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness; and that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met. Additionally, the Board is without authority to waive Section 456.031, F.S., regarding the requirement for completion of the domestic violence course.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting the Board of Osteopathic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3056.
