Part unconfirmed Read on October 17, 2026
Read from the board’s own source. What follows was read on October 17, 2026 in the source named on this page. Rules change, and the board decides: confirm before you rely on it.
- The copy DC Health publishes is dated 2007. It sets December 31 of even years as the expiry, unless DC Health moves renewals to the holder’s birth month, as its board page describes. Use the date on your license.
- DC Health’s general rules for health occupations (Title 17, Chapter 40) may add hours on public health priorities and cultural competency. They were not read.
