Retired Status Physician Licenses
From the Florida Medical Association
In 2005 the Florida legislature added new language to Section 456.036, Florida Statutes, which allows any Florida health care practitioner, including MDs and DOs, to convert their license to "retired" status. This allows a physician to keep his or her Florida license, but not actively practice. Under this status, a physician does not have to meet the requirement of active practice, does not have to pay bienniel fees and does not have to take the required continuing medical education. They may not practice (this includes writing prescriptions) but will be able to retain their Florida license. A physician requesting to come off of retired status and return to active practice will have to pay renewal fees and take CME hours and will also have to demonstrate competency to return to practice if they have been retired more than five years. A physician can remain in retired status indefinitely. To learn more about changing your license to retired status, contact the Florida Board of Medicine at 850-245-4131.
