Audit: 1 in 11 Wisconsin doctors not up on continuing ed

MADISON - A recent audit finds nearly one in 11 licensed Wisconsin physicians was not in compliance with continuing education requirements.

State regulators found 8 percent of doctors selected in the random audit failed to meet the requirements. While an overwhelming majority of doctors completed their continuing education, a former Medical Examining Board chairman says the requirements are not that strict.

Sheldon Wasserman tells the Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/1cUFqLK ) Wisconsin's requirements are the lowest in the nation. Physicians in Wisconsin must log 30 hours of continuing medical education every two years.
