An act relating to osteopathic physician certification and licensure; amending s. 459.0055, F.S.; requiring the successful completion of an internship or residency for licensure or certification as an osteopathic physician; providing accreditation requirements for such internships and residencies; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends the requirements for licensure or certification as an osteopathic physician in Florida. It requires the successful completion of an internship or residency program accredited by either the American Osteopathic Association or the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, replacing the previous requirement of a 12-month hospital-approved resident internship. The bill also removes the provision that allowed the board to waive this requirement for applicants who matriculated in a college of osteopathic medicine during or before 1948. The bill takes effect upon becoming law.
