How does a physician come out of military status?
The physician must complete the “Application to Restore License to Full Active Status from Inactive, Disabled or Fee Exempt Status or from Disabled Status to Active Status with Limitations on Practice”, and pay the full renewal fee. If the physician was granted a continuing medical education waiver, he or she must also document completion of 50 hours of continuing medical education (CME) within the past two years. The documentation must be submitted with the application. Acceptable documents are letters or certificates of attendance that show completion of CME courses, with the name of the provider, the name and date of the course, the number of approved CME hours completed, and your name as the participant. If you do not have the documentation, you must contact the provider of the CME courses you have participated in and request verification. Please note all licenses expire at midnight on the last day of the birth month of the licensee during the second year of a two-year term. A phys
