Maryland DO license renewal deadlines: September 30, 2027 or September 30, 2028

What you need to renew

50 hours every 2 years

COMAR 10.32.01.08B: licenses renew every two years. The Board's 2026 renewal notices say licenses of physicians whose last names begin A-L expired September 30, 2026 (renewal ran July 15 to September 30), and its print-license links show M-Z licenses renewed in 2025, so M-Z next expire September 30, 2027. There is no late renewal: an unrenewed license expires and must be reinstated. COMAR 10.32.01.10A: CME counts over the 2 years before the license expires.
