End-of-life care studies may be used to satisfy the risk management requirement in 243 CMR 2.06(6)(a)3. The Board will assist licensees in obtaining end-of-life care education and training by providing an online list of resources. (c) Clinical Assessment. The Board may require a licensee to participate in a clinical skills or competency assessment, if any such programs exist, as a condition for renewing, reinstating, reviving a license or for changing a license category. An applicant for renewal, revival, reinstatement or change of status may also be required to appear for a personal interview with the Board and its committees. This interview may include, but not be limited to, an inquiry regarding the applicant's reason(s) for renewal, revival, reinstating or change of status and the applicant's plan for practicing medicine in Massachusetts. 1. In determining whether to require a clinical skills assessment or a clinical competency assessment, the Board may consider the length of time that the licensee has been clinically inactive, the licensee's specialty; the cost of the program; the location of the program, and other relevant factors that the Board may by policy develop. 2. The Board may accept the successful completion of an Ongoing Physician Performance Evaluation (OPPE) by a licensee as establishing clinical competency, provided the OPPE is completed within the past year. 3.

One hundred (100) CME credits during the two years immediately preceding the

majority of credits must be earned in study directly related to the physician's
primary area(s) of practice.
Credits shall be earned as
follows:
- a minimum of forty (40) credits
completed in Category 1. (The entire 100-credit requirement may be
completed in Category 1).
- and, a maximum of sixty (60) credits
completed in Category 2.
Also, required and
included in the biennial 100 credits of CME:
- two (2) credits of study of the MA Board of

regulations may be obtained by going to http://www.mass.gov/massmedboard, and clicking on Regulations and Policies.
- ten (10) credits total of risk management study with
a minimum of four (4) credits in Category 1. (The
remaining six credits may be in Category 1 or Category 2).
Risk
management study must include
instruction in medical malpractice prevention such as risk identification,
patient safety, and loss prevention. In addition, it may include courses in
medical ethics, quality assurance, medical-legal issues, patient relations,
non-economic aspects of practice management, or courses designed to reduce the
likelihood of medical malpractice through means other than increasing the
licensee's medical education and technical competence. Risk management study
also includes review of the Board's Patient Care Assessment regulations (234
CMR 3.01-3.16) and participation on designated peer review committees dealing
with quality assurance.
Effective
Pain Management
Effective Feb. 1, 2012, physicians
applying to renew their license or obtain a new license must complete at least
three (3) credits of education and training in pain management and opioid
education. This requirement applies to all physicians who prescribe
controlled substances (Schedules I through VI). According to state regulations (pdf), such education includes training in effective pain
management, identification of patients at high risk for substance abuse,
counseling patients about side effects, and the addictive nature and proper
storage and disposal of prescription drugs. These hours will qualify as either
Category 1 or Category 2, and may be counted as risk management credits.
End
of Life Care
Effective Feb. 1, 2012, physicians
must also take two (2) CME credits in end of life care. The credits
qualify as either Category 1 or Category 2, and may be counted as risk
management credits.
Electronic
Health Records (EHRs)
In 2015, such applicants must also
certify their competence in the use of electronic health records.
Physicians renewing their Massachusetts medical license are required to attest
to their proficiency with EHRs. This one-time requirement can be met in

access hospital with a CMS Meaningful Use program
- Participation as either a Participant or an Authorized
User in the Massachusetts Health Information Highway
- Completion of three hours of a Category 1
EHR-related CPD course that discusses, at a minimum, the core and menu
objectives and the CQMs for Meaningful Use.

license must also demonstrate competence in the following area. This is
NOT an accredited CME/CPD requirement.
M.G.L. c. 119, §51A(k) required all mandated reporters, professionally licensed by the Commonwealth, to complete training to recognize and report suspected child abuse or neglect. Physicians are one Category of mandated reporters.
Physicians may comply with the training requirement through:
M.G.L. c. 119, §51A(k) required all mandated reporters, professionally licensed by the Commonwealth, to complete training to recognize and report suspected child abuse or neglect. Physicians are one Category of mandated reporters.
