How many hours of continuing education (CE) are required per year for a surgical assistant?
As a prerequisite to the registration of a surgical assistant's license, 18 hours of continuing education are required every 12 months, with at least half being Category I. That is 36 hours of CE every 24 months (24 month timeline is in relation to the biennial registration period, not the calendar year).

My physician license is currently in a retired status. How to I return it to an active status so I can practice?
To return to practice from retired status, a physician must obtain approval of the Board after submitting a written request. If a physician has been on official retired status for two years or longer, the request must be reviewed by the Licensure Committee of the Board. Please contact the Registration department for information on the approval procedure.
“Yes, if you are a physician or a physician assistant. Physicians are required to register all PAs and APRNs that they supervise prior to the delegates beginning to work for them. If there is a change to the scope of the delegation, physicians must notify the Board within 30 days of this c ... ”
Do I have to let the Medical Board know about my delegates/supervising physicians?
Yes, if you are a physician or a physician assistant.
Physicians are required to register all PAs and APRNs that they supervise prior to the delegates beginning to work for them. If there is a change to the scope of the delegation, physicians must notify the Board within 30 days of this change.
PAs are likewise required to register their supervising physicians with the Board prior to beginning to practice under the employment or prescriptive authority agreement. They are also required to notify the Board within 30 days of any change to the scope of the delegation.
APRNs should look to guidance provided by the Texas Board of Nursing for how to register their delegating physicians, as the Medical Board does not have licensing authority for nurses.
“To return to practice from retired status, a physician must submit an application online for re-activation/re-licensure and meet all of the current requirements for licensure. ”
Are there any additional requirements that I need to complete before I request to return my retired physician license to an active status?
To return to practice from retired status, a physician must submit an application online for re-activation/re-licensure and meet all of the current requirements for licensure.

Is only the prescriber allowed to check the PMP, or can someone else check on behalf of the physician?
A physician, their delegated midlevel provider, or any other qualified and licensed individual delegated authority to check the PMP may do so on behalf of the prescriber. Ultimately though, it is the prescriber’s responsibility to ensure that the PMP has been checked and that they have reviewed and taken into account any relevant information prior to issuing a prescription.

How will I be notified if I am granted a waiver?
If you are granted a waiver, it will be displayed on your public physician profile. This alone will serve as proof of your waiver. Generally, waiver requests are determined within 2-3 business days. You are encouraged to check your profile daily upon submitting your waiver request. You may also choose to print a simple copy of the ‘Verified Information’ section of your profile, which includes your waiver status, by choosing the “Print Verification” option on your profile.
“Currently, each individual physician who needs a waiver will have to apply for their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group. ”
Does everyone at my practice have to apply for a waiver or just the medical director?
Currently, each individual physician who needs a waiver will have to apply for their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group.
“If the supervising physician has a waiver, then the prescribing delegate is also covered under that waiver. So long as the prescribing delegate is prescribing under the authority of a physician who has been granted a waiver, then the prescribing delegate may use non-electronic prescribing means.&nbs ... ”
Do delegates who have prescribing authority have to apply for their own waiver or are they covered by the supervising physician’s waiver?
If the supervising physician has a waiver, then the prescribing delegate is also covered under that waiver. So long as the prescribing delegate is prescribing under the authority of a physician who has been granted a waiver, then the prescribing delegate may use non-electronic prescribing means. If a prescribing delegate is issuing a prescription under the authority of a physician who does not have a waiver, then the prescribing delegate must issue the prescription via e-prescribing.
If an individual wants to look up whether a prescribing delegate has a waver they can do so as listed below:
For physician assistants: A PA’s waiver status will not be viewable on their TMB public profile. Each PA’s public profile has a link to their supervising physician’s profile page. The physician’s profile page will list the waiver status.
For nurse practitioners: APRN waivers are determined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Information on the waiver process for the APRNs is available on the Texas Board of Nursing Website.
“ If a physician has a waiver from e-prescribing, it is viewable on their public profile page, under the section entitled “Verified Information.” If you want to verify that a PA or nurse practitioner has a waiver, you will have to look at the delegating physician’s ... ”
How can someone determine if a practitioner has a waiver?
If a physician has a waiver from e-prescribing, it is viewable on their public profile page, under the section entitled “Verified Information.” If you want to verify that a PA or nurse practitioner has a waiver, you will have to look at the delegating physician’s public profile. You can look up a prescriber’s public profile here: Look up a License
NOTE: Per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, a “pharmacist is not responsible for ensuring there is a waiver. In addition, there is no requirement of the pharmacist to ensure an appropriate waiver is granted.”
