Overview: Agreements between physicians and advanced practice nurses are based on joint rules of the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners (Medical Board) and the Alabama Board of Nursing (Board of Nursing). The current rules require that collaborating physicians, certified registered nurse practitioners (CRNPs), and certified nurse midwives (CNMs) obtain continuing medical education when beginning collaboration and periodically during ongoing collaborations.  Licensees currently in collaboration and those contemplating doing so must be very familiar with the current rules to ensure they remain in compliance. This activity will review the current rules and focus on strategies to implement them.

History: In 2020, a joint consultant group of the Board and Commission studied the increasing number of sexual misconduct and professional boundaries complaints against Alabama medical practitioners and what measures should be taken to address this increase. As part of the continuing effort to protect the health and safety of patients and educate licensees, mandatory professional boundaries education is being implemented for all current and future physicians, physician assistants, and anesthesiologist assistants licensed in Alabama. The only licensees exempted from this requirement are limited licensees who are enrolled in a residency training program or a clinical fellowship.

Current Licensees: Effective January 2025, all actively licensed physicians, physician assistants, and anesthesiologist assistants are required to complete the two-hour on-demand course provided by PBI Education entitled “Navigating Professional Boundaries in Medicine.” The course is provided free of charge to all Alabama licensees and must be completed by December 31, 2025.
