The Georgia Composite Medical Board has added a new question to the physician license renewal application asking if the licensee has completed education and training in professional boundaries and physician sexual misconduct. O.C.G.A. § 43-34-11(a)(6) requires all physicians "to receive one-time education and training, for a minimum of two hours, regarding professional boundaries and physician sexual misconduct," and the CME "shall include subject matter relating to how to proceed with basic as well as sensitive or intimate examinations and the communication with patients that is required as a component of such examinations." This two-hour education and training only needs to be completed once during a physician's career and may count toward the required 40 hours of continuing education per licensure cycle, if meeting other CME guidelines.

1. To be able to provide appropriate sensitive or intimate examinations and communication with patients.
