The educational requirement of this section may be waived by the Board if the licensee files with the Board a statement of a chiropractic physician, osteopathic physician or doctor of medicine certifying that the licensee is suffering from a serious or disabling illness or physical disability which prevented the licensee from completing the requirements for continuing education during the 24 months immediately preceding the renewal date of the license.
