This is the first year that mandatory license renewal is in effect for you. What does that mean, you might ask yourself? Mandatory license renewal just means that you have to show proof of compliance with the Florida Department of Health at the time of renewal. If you are not 100% compliant, you will not be able to renew your license and will be redirected to CE Broker to report any missing hours. You don’t want any surprises when you renew your license, so continue reading to learn more about your CE requirements!

As a Midwife you are required to complete 20 hours each biennium. Every biennium you must complete 16 hours of General Hours, 2 hours of Medical Errors, 1 hour of Laws and Rules and 1 hour of HIV/AIDS. Every third biennium, you are required to complete 2 hours of Domestic Violence. These 2 hours are in addition to the required 20 hours so that in the biennium that Domestic Violence is required, you must complete a total of 22 hours.

Below is a chart of your CE requirements (first time license renewals may differ):

 

What if this is my first renewal?

If you are renewing a license for the first time and you were licensed in the first half of the biennium are required to complete the full 20 hours.

If you are renewing a license for the first time and you were licensed in the second half of the biennium are only required to complete two (2) hours of Medical Errors.
