Saturday, April 09, 2005In a 15-page 'charging document,' the Maryland board said Tunis falsely claimed to have completed 50 credit hours of continuing medical education. Maryland physicians must meet the requirement every two years for license renewal. To fulfill the requirement, doctors often attend conferences, take courses online, review academic journals or participate in hospital educational sessions called 'grand rounds.' In several instances, Tunis listed medical conferences he claimed to have attended in his licensing renewal applications. But board investigators found that either the conference did not take place, Tunis was not registered or he had incorrect information about the event, such as the wrong city. Tunis submitted false claims on three license renewal forms to Mercy, according to the charges, and twice refused to submit original documents to the board despite subpoenas for the records. The charges were first reported in the Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper. No matter how busy you are, you've got to make time for those conferences. posted by Sydney on 4/09/2005 01:16:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
