FL S0414

Allows osteopathic physician applicants with a valid active license in another state to meet Florida's examination requirement if their initial licensure in that state occurred no more than 5 years after passing the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners exam, rather than requiring the exam to be passed within 5 years of Florida application.

Permits the Board of Osteopathic Medicine to deny licensure, issue a restricted license with supervision requirements, or issue a full license with conditions (such as continuing education or skills assessment) if an applicant has not actively practiced for more than 2 years and the board determines this gap adversely affected their ability to practice.

Removes references to "assistant resident physician" and "house physician" from registration requirements for resident physicians, interns, and fellows in sections 459.021, making registration apply only to resident physicians, interns, and fellows in fellowship training.

Exempts resident physicians, interns, and fellows from meeting the examination requirements in sections 459.0055(1)(l) and (m) when registering to practice in teaching hospitals.

Takes effect July 1, 2012.
