Oregon MD license renewal deadline: December 31, 2027

What you need to renew

60 hours every 2 years

OAR 847-008-0005(1): physicians renew registration on or before December 31 of each odd-numbered year. The current registration period is the 2026-2027 biennium, so the next renewal is due December 31, 2027. Physicians in an Oregon postgraduate training program may hold Active – One Year status instead and renew every year (OAR 847-008-0005; the Board's License Statuses page); those licenses expire December 31, 2026. OAR 847-008-0070(1): the CME requirement is measured over the previous registration period. Instead of the 60 hours, an active-status physician may show ongoing participation in an ABMS or AOA-BOS recertification or maintenance of certification program (OAR 847-008-0070(1)(a)); lifetime certification alone does not count.
