Dear Licensee:
Continuing education requirements created by HB24-1153, Physician Continuing Education will not apply until the 2027 renewal cycle. The Colorado Medical Board will engage in rulemaking in the coming months to clarify these requirements.
The public is encouraged to participate in this process by attending and providing feedback during stakeholder meetings preceding final implementation. Please fill out this form if you are interested in receiving notification of these meetings.
In review, HB24-1153 establishes Continuing Medical Education (CME) requirements for physicians, which include 30 credit hours of CME in the 24 months preceding the renewal, reinstatement, or reactivation of the physician’s medical license in topics selected by the physician and certain topics specified in the bill.
In order to verify compliance with the CME requirement, the physician shall affirm on the license renewal form submitted to the Board that the physician has complied with the CME requirement. The Board is authorized to audit up to 5% of physician renewals annually, chosen at random with an oversampling of non-board-certified physicians, and to require that the physician submit proof of the CME programs completed and the CME credit hours awarded. If a physician has failed to comply with the CME requirement or to submit proof to the board during a board audit, they have engaged in unprofessional conduct.
Questions may be referred to dora_medicalboard@state.co.us. Please visit the DPO Legislative Update webpage for all updates affecting licensees under the Division’s regulatory authority. Thank you.
