Waiver of Medical Licensing Requirements

Due to the increasing occurrence of COVID-19 and the need to increase the state’s healthcare capacity, Governor Little waived numerous administrative regulations related to medical licensing. These provisions include the Board of Medicine’s rules requiring 40 hours of continuing medical education to be completed every two years (Idaho Admin. Code. R. 22.02.02.079) and requiring interns and residents to apply for registration with the state (Idaho Admin. Code. R. 22.01.01.243) as well waiving the Board of Nursing’s requirement that applications for licensure by interstate endorsement include a notarized application form and fees (Idaho Admin. Code. R. 23.01.01.241.03).
