NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 03, 2010, the Board of Medicine has issued an order.
The Petition for Waiver and/or Variance was filed on behalf of Robert Bonvino, M.D., on March 4, 2010, seeking a waiver or variance from subsection 64B8-2.001(2), F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for successful completion of the pre-1985 FLEX in one administration of the examination. The Notice was published in Vol. 36, No. 11, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on March 19, 2010. The Credentials Committee, at its meeting held on April 8, 2010, recommended that Petitioner’s request for waiver or variance be granted. The Board, at its meeting held on April 10, 2010, accepted the Committee’s recommendation and voted to grant the Petition for Waiver 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.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: the Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3053.
