What you need to renew

50 hours every year

K.A.R. 100-15-1: each license to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery expires on September 30 of each year. The Board's renewal-dates page lists the DO renewal cycle as August 15 to October 31 with late renewal October 1 to 31, and its DO FAQ says DO licenses "expire on October 31st" while also calling October the late period; we follow the regulation's September 30 date. Licenses are renewed every year. At each renewal you certify one of three options under K.A.R. 100-15-5(a)(1): 50 credits in the 18 months before the expiration date (at least 20 category I and 1 category III), 100 credits in the 30 months before it (at least 40 category I and 2 category III), or 150 credits in the 42 months before it (at least 60 category I and 3 category III). We plan with the 18-month option. Under K.S.A. 65-2809(d) a license not renewed by the renewal date is canceled if not renewed, with a late fee, within 30 days.

  • Category III: acute or chronic pain management, appropriate opioid prescribing, or use of prescription drug monitoring programs1 hour
