**CORRECTION ? AIDS training no longer a requirement* *

*Proclamation 20-32 ends Oct. 27 -
MDs will see changes to CME requirements*

Physician?s should begin to prepare for the termination of Proclamation 20-32 which will end Oct. 27.

Gov. Inslee announced his intent to rescind 12 Proclamations, including Proclamation 20-32, which have been in place during the COVID-19 public health emergency. When these 12 healthcare-related emergency orders terminate this fall, approximately 87% of all COVID emergency proclamations will have ended. However, the Secretary of Health will still require face masks in healthcare facilities and long-term care facilities, as well as correctional facilities under certain circumstances.

On October 27, 2022, MDs must: 1) complete training in suicide assessment, treatment, management, 2) begin to meet continuing education requirements. *Previous versions of this email stated that MD?s had to start accumulating four hours of AIDS education ? that is incorrect and no longer a requirement.*

In conjunction with the Department of Health and other medical professions, the Washington Medical Commission (WMC) will exercise enforcement discretion regarding the resumption of CME requirements. WMC will be instating a grace period for MDs and PAs to complete their CME requirements. Visit our?webpage for CME reinstatement [ [link removed] ] to learn about the timeline for completion.
