Section 3652.

(a) A certificate of specialty practice in naturopathic childbirth attendance shall expire concurrently with the licensee's naturopathic doctor's license.

(b) The certificate may be renewed upon submission of the renewal fee set by the committee and evidence, to the committee's satisfaction, of the completion of 30 hours of continuing education credits in naturopathic childbirth, midwifery, or obstetrics. Fifteen hours may be applied to the 60 hours of continuing education required for naturopathic doctors.

(c) Licensing or disciplinary action by the committee or a judicial authority shall be deemed to have an equal effect upon the specialty certificate to practice naturopathic childbirth issued to a licensee, unless otherwise specified in the licensing or disciplinary action. When the subject of a licensing or disciplinary action relates specifically to the practice of naturopathic childbirth by a licensee holding a specialty certificate, the action may, instead of affecting the entire scope of the licensee's practice, suspend, revoke, condition, or restrict only the licensee's authority under the specialty certificate.

(Amended by Stats. 2009, 4th Ex. Sess., Ch. 18, Sec. 32. Effective October 23, 2009. Repealed as of January 1, 2014, pursuant to Section 3686.)
