Purpose: To define certain terms and notify healthcare professionals and the public regarding the information to be disclosed pursuant to the requirements of the Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act of 2010, § 24-34-110 C.R.S. Not all professions will be required to report on all requirements. If the requirement does not pertain to a specific profession, the applicant will not see corresponding question in their profile. For purposes of this policy, the term “license” refers to licenses, registrations, and certifications for all individuals required to comply with the Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act. Policy The Director of the Division of Professions and Occupations (“Director”) interprets the terms as follows: A. Demographic Information: The applicant’s name, address, and telephone number are the same information provided to the Division in the license application. The data is pulled to the individual’s profile directly from the Division’s licensing system. It is expected that the applicant will notify the Division if there are any inconsistencies with the information. B. Location of Practice: Applicants are required to list all locations where they practice their licensed profession. Those who hold active licenses but who are not actively practicing in their licensed profession are not required to provide this information. If an applicant works for a temporary agency, they need not list locations of practice unless they are in a location for more than 30 days. C. Education and Training: All applicants are required to provide information regarding the education and training received as it relates to their licensed profession. Applicants will either
