Executive Director Erica Calderon opened the session by expressing gratitude for the board's hard work over the past year and wishing members a happy holiday season. She highlighted the completion of the recruitment process for new associate governmental program analyst positions, which are crucial for the board's enforcement operations. Calderon introduced Christy Libramento and Gloria Laughlin, both of whom have recently joined the board and are expected to contribute significantly to its enforcement capabilities.
Calderon reported that the board has successfully transitioned to a paperless system for all licensure transactions, significantly improving processing times for applications. The board is now able to process military, military spouse, underserved, and asylum applications well within the targeted 60-day timeframe, a notable improvement from the previous eight-month wait.
Additionally, Calderon announced that all mandates from Senate Bill 815 have been implemented, including new requirements for patient impact statements and consumer interviews related to quality of care complaints. The board also participated in expert reviewer training hosted by the Medical Board of California, with positive feedback received from attendees.
The meeting concluded with the announcement of a memorandum of understanding between the Osteopathic Medical Board and the Board of Registered Nursing, aimed at enhancing information sharing related to licensing and enforcement responsibilities.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to improving operational efficiency and regulatory oversight in the osteopathic medical field, ensuring better protection for California consumers.
