Bill > SB3124

This bill mandates that physicians in Hawaii must include at least one hour of continuing medical education focused on nutrition and metabolic health as part of their required training to maintain their medical licenses. Continuing medical education (CME) is a process by which physicians update their knowledge and skills to ensure they provide high-quality patient care. The bill emphasizes that understanding nutrition and metabolic health is crucial for preventing and managing chronic diseases, and this new requirement aims to equip physicians with better knowledge in these areas to offer more informed advice to their patients. The Hawaii medical board will be responsible for adopting rules to implement this change, which will take effect on January 1, 2027.
