61-10-20. Post-graduate educational requirements. (Repealed effective July 1, 2022.)
For the purpose of protecting the health and well-being of the citizens of this state and for maintaining and continuing informed professional knowledge and awareness, the board shall establish mandatory continuing educational requirements for osteopathic physicians and osteopathic physician assistants licensed in this state. In establishing these requirements, the board shall recognize and give weight to existing educational methods, procedures, devices and programs in use among the various medical specialties and other recognized medical groups and the consensus of the members of the medical community. This section does not abrogate or affect the status, force or operation of the Uniform Licensing Act [61-1-1 through 61-1-31 NMSA 1978]. The board shall not establish and enforce these requirements if they will reduce the availability of osteopathic physicians or osteopathic physician assistants in a community to an extent that adequate medical care is jeopardized.
