The State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO) seeks public input on proposed draft rules (Chapter 4731-6, Ohio Administrative Code) regarding procedures and requirements for medical and osteopathic physician licensure.
Revisions are proposed due to recent statutory changes concerning licensure of physicians in Chapter 4731 of the Revised Code. In general, the amendments do not make substantive changes to licensure requirements but rather modernize and simplify the rules.
The SMBO’s initial review of rules may result in a proposal to amend current rules, rescind current rules, make no changes to current rules, and/or adopt new rules. Comments received will be reviewed and possibly result in changes to the initially proposed language before the rules are then filed with the Common Sense Initiative Office.
