(225 ILCS 100/14) (from Ch. 111, par. 4814)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 14. Continuing education requirement. Podiatric physicians
licensed to practice in Illinois shall, as a requirement for renewal of
license, complete continuing education at the rate of at least 50 hours per
year. Such hours shall be earned (1) from courses offered by
sponsors validated by the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association Continuing
Education Committee and approved by the Board; or (2) by continuing education activities as defined in
the rules of the Department. Podiatric physicians shall, at the request of
the Department, provide proof of having met the requirements of continuing
education under this Section. The Department shall by rule provide an
orderly process for the restoration of licenses which have not been
renewed due to the licensee's failure to meet requirements of this Section.
The requirements of continuing education may be waived by the Secretary,
upon recommendation by the Board, in whole or in part for such good cause,
including but not limited to illness or
hardship, as defined by the rules of the Department.
The Department shall establish by rule a means for the verification of
completion of the continuing education required by this Section. This
verification may be accomplished through audits of records maintained by
registrants; by requiring the filing of continuing education certificates
with the Department; or by other means established by the Department.
