OAR 847-008-0035: Retired Status

(1) A licensee who is fully retired and not practicing any form of medicine, whether paid, volunteer, or writing prescriptions in any state, may request retirement status and pay no biennial renewal fee. Prior to retirement a licensee shall notify the Board in writing of intent to retire. (2) A licensee who returns to practice in any state may not hold retired status. If a licensee with retired status wishes to return to practice in Oregon, the licensee must submit the reactivation application and fee and satisfactorily complete the reactivation process before beginning practice in Oregon. If the license had lapsed prior to the change to retired status, the lapsed registration must be cleared by payment of the registration renewal late fee before reactivation can be completed.
