California State Requirements for Geriatrics and Pain Management

AB 487, signed into law on October 4, 2001, requires most California-licensed physicians to take, as a one-time requirement, 12 units of continuing medical education (CME) on “pain management” and “the appropriate care and treatment of the terminally ill.” The bill, which has become Business and Professions Code section 2190.5, exempts pathologists and radiologists.
