The Board of Medicine hereby gives notice:
That on December 22, 2011, an Order was filed on the Petition for Waiver and/or Variance. The Petition for Waiver and/or Variance was filed on behalf of Edward K. Miller, M.D., on October 24, 2011, seeking a waiver or variance from paragraph 64B8-13.0045(2)(b), F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for taking and passing the SPEX examination for the purpose of reinstatement of a retired license. The Notice was published in Vol. 37, No. 45, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on November 10, 2011. The Credentials Committee, at its meeting held on December 1, 2011, recommended that Petitioner’s request for waiver or variance be granted. The Board, at its meeting held on December 3, 2011, accepted the Committee’s recommendation and voted to grant the Petition for Waiver finding that the Petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship, met the purpose of the underlying statute, and that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3053.
