The Board of Osteopathic Medicine hereby gives notice:
On January 4, 2012, an order was filed on the Petition for Waiver/Variance. The Petition for Waiver and/or Variance was filed by Andrew V. Nicholes, D.O., on October 31, 2011, seeking a waiver or variance from Rule 64B15-13.001, F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for continuing medical education (CME) to be obtained by the completion of live, participatory attendance courses. The Notice was published in Vol. 37, No. 46, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on November 18, 2011. The Board, at its meeting held on December 6, 2011, voted to grant the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship and met the purpose of the underlying statute, and that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness.
