The Board is proposing to update its current list of authorized sources of continuing medical education (CME), and the formats and hours under which the CME may be provided. Hereafter, the Board may amend the list of approved providers with appropriate notice in an Open Meeting. The Board shall maintain a current list of approved providers and shall notify licensed Optometrists of amendments by email. The Board is increasing the time for its consideration of a request to receive CME from a provider not on the approved list from receipt fifteen days prior to the educational event to forty-five days prior to the educational event to allow the Board adequate time to consider the request. The circumstances giving rise to this action are that, over time, CME providers can change their names, their purposes, and the education they offer. New CME providers can come on the scene while older providers may cease to provide CME. The Board seeks to bring its list of available CME provers up to date and advise registered Optometrists of the presently available providers and the Board’s requirements regarding CME. The Board also seeks authority in the rule amendment to update its list of providers by means of action taken in a regular Open Meeting of the Board with notice as required by the Open Meeting Act rather than by formal rulemaking.
