64B8-52.003: Procedure for Approval of Attendance at Continuing Education Courses

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on April 18, 2008, the Board of Medicine has issued an order.

The Petition for Waiver and/or Variance was filed by Marianne Donner, on December 14, 2007, seeking a waiver or variance from subsection 64B8-52.003(5), F.A.C., with regard to the provision regarding the limitation on the number of hours of continuing medical education which can be taken as home study. The Notice was published in Vol. 34, No. 1, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on January 4, 2008. The Board, at its meeting held on February 2, 2008, denied the request 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 Petitioner has met the purpose of the underlying statute.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3053.
