The bill would require a physician and surgeon, and an osteopathic physician and surgeon, who is certified in a medical specialty, as specified, to also disclose, in either of those manners the name of the certifying board or association. The bill would exempt specified health care practitioners, including, without limitation, persons working in certain licensed laboratories and health care facilities, as specified, from these requirements.
