Continuing medical education: geriatric medicine.
Summary
Existing law, the Medical Practice Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of California, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs, and requires a general internist and family physician who has a patient population of which 25% are 65 years of age or older to complete at least 20% of all mandatory continuing education hours in a course related to geriatric medicine or the care of older patients. This bill would instead require a general internist and family physician who has a patient population of which 10% are 50 years of age or older to complete at least 20% of all mandatory continuing education hours in a course related to geriatric medicine or the care of older patients.
