Medical License Renewal
A number of physicians have contacted the county medical association staff inquiring about renewing their medical license. Some physicians reported they have not received a renewal notice from the Connecticut Department of Public Health. Kindly note the renewal notice will be emailed and not mailed through the U.S. Postal Service. Also note the following information:
Governor Lamont issued Executive Order 7O on March 27, 2020, which authorized Department of Public Health commissioner to suspend license renewal and inspection requirements during the COVID-19 civil preparedness emergency.
The DPH commissioner issued an order on March 30, 2020, suspending the requirements for license renewal which became effective immediately and will continue through the duration of the COVID-19 civil preparedness emergency.
What this means regarding your license:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE NOW IF YOU SO CHOOSE
If your license was active on or after March 30, 2020, your license will not expire during the COVID-19 civil preparedness emergency;
You will be able to renew your license at any time now and during the six-month period following the date of the resumption of the renewal requirements;
DPH will continue to send you renewal notices periodically that will allow you to renew your license should you choose not to at this time.
However, our suggestion is that you not wait for the renewal notice to arrive and that you proactively renew your medical license.
