HB4951

Requiring MDs and DOs to complete continuing education

Complete·3/30/26

Requires physicians to complete continuing education in nutrition as part of their license renewal.

West Virginia HB4951 mandates that physicians renew their licenses biennially and complete thirty-two hours of continuing education, including nutrition education. Failure to renew on time results in automatic expiration of the license, which can be reinstated with the completion of required education and fees. The bill aligns with the state's Rural Health Transformation Program commitments to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
