California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 2 — Healing Arts, Chapter 8.2 — Naturopathic Doctors Act, Article 5 — Naturopathic Childbirth Attendance, Section 3652
(a) A certificate of specialty practice in naturopathic childbirth attendance shall expire concurrently with the licensee’s naturopathic doctor’s license.
(b) The certificate may be renewed upon submission of the renewal fee set by the board and evidence, to the board’s satisfaction, of the completion of 30 hours of continuing education credits in naturopathic childbirth, midwifery, or obstetrics. Fifteen hours may be applied to the 60 hours of continuing education required for naturopathic doctors.
(c) Licensing or disciplinary action by the board or a judicial authority shall be deemed to have an equal effect upon the specialty certificate to practice naturopathic childbirth issued to a licensee, unless otherwise specified in the licensing or disciplinary action. When the subject of a licensing or disciplinary action relates specifically to the practice of naturopathic childbirth by a licensee holding a specialty certificate, the action may, instead of affecting the entire scope of the licensee’s practice, suspend, revoke, condition, or restrict only the licensee’s authority under the specialty certificate.
Notes
Requires a naturopathic-childbirth specialty certificate to expire with the holder’s naturopathic-doctor license and allows renewal with the board-set fee and 30 hours of specified continuing education, fifteen of which may count toward the doctor’s 60-hour requirement. Extends licensing or disciplinary action to the certificate unless specified otherwise, while allowing childbirth-specific discipline to affect only the specialty authority.
