Section 12.40.200. General requirements.

	(a)  A physician seeking renewal of a license shall obtain an average of 25 credit hours of continuing medical education during each year of the previous license period.   
	(b)  If a licensee fails to meet continuing medical education requirements due to illness or other extenuating circumstances, the licensee may request an extension of time in order to comply  with those requirements. The request for an extension must be made on the licensee's application for license renewal. The board, or its designee, will only consider a request for extension if the licensee also agrees to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the board that specifies the date within the licensing period by which the licensee will meet the continuing education requirements and the licensee's agreement to voluntarily surrender the license to the board if the licensee fails to comply with the memorandum of agreement. The board, or its designee, will evaluate the request and proposed memorandum of agreement on an individual basis. If approved, the board, or its designee, will grant the extension of time and issue the renewed license for the next licensing period, effective from the date of the approval of the agreement.
