SB 344 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Board of Medicine rule relating to continuing education for physicians and podiatric physicians

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Board of Medicine to implement a specific rule regarding continuing education requirements for physicians and podiatric physicians (foot care specialists). It directly affects licensed medical professionals who must complete continuing education to maintain their licenses. The bill references an existing proposed rule (11 CSR 06) that was filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, and simply grants the Board the authority to formally adopt it. The legislation does not change the content of the continuing education requirements but enables the Board to put the rule into effect through standard regulatory processes.
