CME Requirements for Relicensure: The Florida Department of Health in conjunction with the Board of Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine sets the CME requirements for physician licensure in Florida. Each Board specifies a certain number of hours, including a few mandatory topics, that must be completed within each two year license term. Half of Florida allopathic (MD) licenses expire January 31st of every even-numbered year and the other half expire January 31st of every odd-numbered year. All osteopathic (DO) licenses expire March 31st of every even numbered year. Visit www.FLhealthSource.gov to verify a Florida license or confirm a licensure expiration date. Choose Licensee/Provider, then License Verification. MD CME Requirements DO CME Requirements
