Chapter 1. Industrial Medical Council Article 5. QME Reappointment

§50. Reappointment: Application Form.

(a) In addition to the eligibility requirements set forth in section 11, a physician may seek reappointment on the basis that he or she was an active QME on June 30, 2000. For all physicians, applications for reappointment shall include a Reappointment Application Form in Section 10.1A, a statement of citizenship form 101 if not previously submitted, and the appropriate fee under Section 17 and shall be filed at the Council's headquarters office.

(b) Any Reappointment Application Form may be rejected if it is incompletely filled out or does not contain the required supporting documentation listed in Section 11. Upon its approval of the Reappointment Application Form, the Council shall verify that the QME has complied with all requirements under this Article.

(c) When a QME applies for reappointment, he or she shall submit a statement signed under penalty of perjury (1) that he or she has completed the education requirement and (2) that lists the dates, locations, and titles of continuing education programs and the names of the providers of those programs which he or she has taken to meet the requirement of Labor Code Section 139.2(d)(3), as well as the number of hours of attendance at each program. The Council may randomly audit QMEs for documentation of program attendance, which supports compliance with this requirement.
