Health occupations: physicians; continuing education on menopause and related conditions; provide for. Amends secs. 17033 & 17533 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.17033 & 333.17533).
HB 4790 requires Michigan physicians to complete continuing education on menopause and related conditions as part of their mandatory professional development. The bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code (sections 333.17033 and 333.17533) to add these topics to the list of required educational areas. This directly affects all licensed physicians in Michigan who must fulfill continuing education requirements to maintain their licenses. The key provision updates existing rules to ensure physicians receive specific training on menopause care, aiming to improve patient education and treatment options.
