For reinstatement under the pathway that requires demonstration of competence, which item is NOT required?

• A. Satisfies all requirements of the 249 CMR
• B. Demonstrates competence in the practice including passing the MA jurisprudence exam
• C. Submits certified statements from licensing authorities
• D. Pass MA board exam

Answer: (D)

The pathway that hinges on demonstration of competence focuses on showing you can practice safely and within regulatory standards, rather than redoing the original licensing exam. Satisfying all requirements of 249 CMR ensures you’re aligned with the governing rules for licensure and reinstatement. Demonstrating competence in the practice, including passing the MA jurisprudence exam, directly demonstrates your current ability to apply the rules and provide safe care. Submitting certified statements from licensing authorities gives independent verification of your good standing and competence from other jurisdictions, which supports reinstatement. Retaking and passing the MA board exam isn’t part of this pathway because that exam is typically tied to initial licensure rather than reinstatement through demonstrated competence.
