The Board of Osteopathic Medicine hereby gives notice:

On February 9, 2016, an Order was filed on the Petition for Waiver or Variance. The Petition for Waiver or Variance was filed by Brien N. Grow, D.O., on November 10, 2015, seeking a waiver or variance from Rule 64B15-13.001, F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for domestic violence and Florida law CME. The Notice was published in Volume 41, No. 224, of the Florida Administrative Register, on November 18, 2015. The Board, at its meeting held on December 18, 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 will be achieved by other means. Further, the Board is without authority to waive the statutory requirement set forth in Section 456.031, Florida Statutes.

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.
