32-1430. License renewal; expiration

A. Except as provided in section 32-4301, each person holding an active license to practice medicine in this state shall renew the license every other year on or before the licensee's birthday and shall pay the fee required by this article, accompanied by a completed renewal form. The board shall provide the renewal form online and, on request, shall mail the form to the licensee. A licensee who does not renew an active license as required by this subsection on or before thirty days after the licensee's birthday must also pay a penalty fee as required by this article for late renewal. A licensee's license automatically expires if the licensee does not renew an active license within four months after the licensee's birthday. A person who practices medicine in this state after that person's active license has expired is in violation of this chapter.

B. A person renewing an active license to practice medicine in this state shall provide to the board as part of the renewal process a report of disciplinary actions, restrictions or any other action placed on or against that person's license or practice by another state licensing or disciplinary board or an agency of the federal government. This action may include denying a license or failing the special purpose licensing examination. The report shall include the name and address of the sanctioning agency or health care institution, the nature of the action taken and a general statement of the charges leading to the action taken.

C. The licensee shall submit proof with the renewal form of having completed a training unit as prescribed by the board relating to the requirements of this chapter and board rules.

D. A person whose license has expired may reapply for a license to practice medicine as provided in this chapter.
