A licensee may request waiver of continuing education deadlines, as follows:
- (a) A petition requesting a waiver shall be filed at least 30 days before the expiration of the biennial continuing education period in question;
- (b) Late filing shall be justified by a showing of good cause that includes serious accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the licensee which actually prevents the licensee from satisfying the continuing education requirements;
- (c) Relevant supporting documentation from the licensee’s physician or medical professional shall be furnished to the board when necessary for a fair and informed determination by the board; and
- (d) A waiver petition shall include a specific timetable for completing specific courses, which will meet the petitioner’s continuing education unit deficiency.
