Panel OKs administration bill designating one hour of physician CE for nutrition
Summary
Committee approved SB 22-39, an administration bill requiring one hour of existing continuing education for licensed physicians to focus on nutrition; sponsor said the total CE requirement is unchanged and the change supports broader health transformation goals.
Senator Hale described SB 22-39 as an administration initiative to ensure physicians receive at least one hour of continuing education focused on nutrition while keeping the total required hours unchanged. "This proposal simply designates one of those existing hours for nutrition," the senator said.
The bill was moved, seconded, and approved by the committee without recorded opposition. The sponsor framed the change as part of the Health Transformation Fund package intended to advance care and population health improvements across the state.
