Waiver or exemption of CME requirements may be requested under what circumstances?

• A. Military service
• B. Travel restrictions
• C. Financial hardship
• D. Illness or other good cause

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that CME waivers are reserved for times when you can’t reasonably meet the requirements due to health or other serious circumstances. Illness is a clear, direct reason for a waiver because it directly prevents you from completing coursework or activities, and “other good cause” covers additional legitimate hardships that aren’t medical but are still significant. This combination recognizes that life can throw up obstacles beyond a practitioner’s control, and the board wants to avoid penalizing someone for those situations. The other options don’t fit the stated grounds for relief in this context, as they aren’t specifically identified as automatic bases for a CME waiver.
