Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment clarifies the continuing
				  education requirements for license renewal.
(1) All Missouri podiatric physicians shall
				notify the board office of all offices, shared or individual; or changes in
				office addresses and designate at which address mail is to be
				received.
(2) Each applicant for
				license renewal shall certify to the board that s/he has attended twenty-four
				(24) hours of board-approved continuing medical education (CME) for the
				biennial renewal period immediately preceding the biennial license renewal
				date. Applicants who qualify under section 330.010.2, RSMo to perform surgery
				of the ankle must certify that s/he has attended an additional twenty-six (26)
				hours of board-approved CME for the biennial renewal period immediately
				preceding the biennial license renewal date. Prior to January 2005, a copy of
				Foot & Ankle Board Certification or certificate of a twenty-four (24)-month
				postgraduate clinical residency program in podiatric surgery shall be on file
				with the state board for acceptance of the additional CMEs, before the
				endorsement of "Ankle Surgery Certified" will be added to their biennial
				renewal license. After January 2005, a certificate of completion of a
				twenty-four (24)-month postgraduate clinical residency program in podiatric
				surgery is required for acceptance of the additional CMEs and the "Ankle
				Surgery Certified" endorsement.
(3)
				The reporting period for satisfying the CME requirements shall be the
				twenty-four- (24-) month period immediately preceding the biennial license
				renewal date, which is February 28 of each even-numbered year. All CME hours,
				excluding those hours pursuant to section
				324.046,
				RSMo, shall be board approved. CME hours earned after the biennial renewal date
				(February 28 of even-numbered years) will apply to the next reporting cycle. A
				renewal license will not be issued until all renewal requirements have been
				met.
(4) The licensee shall certify
				that s/he has obtained at least twenty-four (24) or fifty (50) hours, whichever
				is relevant, of continuing medical education during the two- (2-) year period
				preceding the renewal on the renewal form provided by the board. Beginning
				March 1, 2020, all applicants for license renewal shall have obtained at a
				minimum of two (2) hours in infection control pursuant to
				20 CSR
				2230-2.023 Infection Control at least every other
				renewal period. The renewal form shall be submitted directly to the board,
				either by mail or online renewal, by February 28 of each even-numbered year.
				The licensee shall not submit the record of CME attendance to the board except
				in the case of a board audit.
(5)
				The following guidelines govern the CME requirements needed to apply for
				biennial licensure renewal.

				programs approved by the following are approved by the board:
1. Council of Podiatric Medical Education of
