What condition triggers a Board appearance requirement for reactivation?

• A. Not practicing for 2 out of the previous 4 years in another jurisdiction.
• B. Not renewing for two consecutive cycles.
• C. Failing to complete CE in the current cycle.
• D. Moving to another state.

Answer: (A)

The condition hingeing reactivation appearance is tied to significant inactivity in practice. When a licensee has not practiced for two of the previous four years in any other jurisdiction, the Board requires an in-person appearance to reassess readiness to resume practice. This step helps confirm current competence, updates on standards and rules, and ensures patient safety before reactivating the license. It’s not simply about renewing late, missing CE in the current cycle, or moving states—those issues are handled through other processes. Prepare by bringing documentation of any practice activity, letters of good standing, and CE records, as the appearance may involve discussion of clinical competency and current regulatory requirements.
