Relicensure Requirements

Each year, Baptist Health provides physicians with several opportunities to take the required courses at hospital campuses. Upcoming dates are listed below.


If you wish to complete your CME requirements sooner or by using other resources, the Medical Education Department suggests some options that will provide you with immediate opportunities. These resources are also listed below.

REQUIREMENTS: Florida Board of Medicine requires physicians renewing their licenses to complete the following CME courses during each relicensure period:
1 hour HIV/AIDS*
1 hour Domestic Violence**
2 hours Prevention of Medical Errors, which must cover 1) Root cause analysis; 2) Error reduction and prevention and 3) Patient safety.

*Physicians may complete a one-hour CME course on end-of-life/palliative health care in lieu of the required one-hour CME course on HIV/AIDS, provided that the physician completed the required HIV/AIDS course in the immediately preceding biennium (the 2-year licensure term).

**Additionally, physicians may complete a one-hour CME course on end-of-life/ palliative health care in lieu of the required one-hour CME course on Domestic Violence, provided that the physician completed the required Domestic Violence course in the immediately preceding biennium (the 2 year licensure term).

Physicians are not required to complete the end-of-life/palliative health care course; however, they may choose to substitute it for the HIV/AIDS and Domestic Violence courses if they completed the required HIV/AIDS and Domestic Violence courses during the preceding biennium.

PLEASE NOTE: The 1-hour substituted course claimed for HIV/AIDS cannot be the same substituted 1-hour course for Domestic Violence. This means that you can take two different one-hour end-of-life/palliative health care courses or one two-hour course.
