160.969 Maintenance of Licensure (MOL)
The Medical Society State of New York (MSSNY) shall oppose any Maintenance of Licensure (MOL) initiative that creates barriers to practice, is administratively unfeasible, is inflexible with regard to how physicians practice (clinically or not), that does not protect physician privacy, and that is used to promote policy initiatives (rather than competence) such as participation in health plans, subscription to data exchanges, and specialty board certification, etc.
MSSNY shall submit to the American Medical Association (AMA), at its annual meeting, a resolution seeking its opposition to any MOL initiative that creates barriers to practice, is administratively unfeasible, is inflexible with regard to how physicians practice (clinically or not), that does not protect physician privacy, and that is used to promote policy initiatives (rather than competence) such as participation in health plans, subscription to data exchanges, and specialty board certification and further urging that the AMA oppose the FSMB MOL program as a condition of licensure.
