Pennsylvania Extends License Renewal Deadline for State Board of Medicine

On December 21, 2020, the Department of State requested, and Governor Wolf granted, an extension for 90 days of certain license renewal deadlines for licensees under the State Board of Medicine. This moved the deadline from December 31, 2020, to March 31, 2021.

Due to licensees having difficulty meeting the March 31 deadline, the Department requested, and Governor Wolf granted, an additional 30 days to renew for all licensees under the Board of Medicine with a license that was set to expire on December 31, 2020, and who have not yet renewed. Any licensee who has not yet renewed must do so on or before April 30, 2021.

Renewal fees were waived by the Board of Medicine due to a funding surplus, but all licensees are required to complete their renewal to retain their license.

This will be the final extension for these licensees under the State Board of Medicine.
