NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 14, 2010, the Board of Osteopathic Medicine has issued an order.
The Petition for Waiver and/or Variance was filed by Adam D. Sterlace, D.O., on February 22, 2010, seeking a waiver or variance from Rule 64B15-13.001, F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for continuing medical education (CME) to be obtained by the completion of live, participatory attendance courses. The Notice was published in Vol. 36, No. 12, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on March 26, 2010. The Board, at its meeting held on May 15, 2010, voted to grant the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship and met the purpose of the underlying statute, and that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Board of Osteopathic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3056.
