Bill > S0218

This bill revises the licensure requirements for individuals seeking to become licensed or certified as osteopathic physicians in Florida. The key changes include requiring applicants to have completed an internship or residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, instead of just a hospital-approved resident internship. Additionally, the bill modifies the examination requirements, specifying that applicants must have obtained a passing score on the examination conducted by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners or another approved examination within the past 5 years, or have obtained their initial license in another state within the past 5 years after passing the examination. The bill also makes various other updates to the general licensure requirements for osteopathic physicians in Florida.
