§ 54.1-2506.1. Submission of required information.

The Department is authorized to require individuals applying for initial licensure and individuals who are licensed to practice medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, or to practice as a physician assistant, nurse practitioner or dental hygienist, to provide information in addition to that which is required to determine the individual's qualifications to be licensed. Such additional information shall identify the individual's specialty and subspecialty; credentials and certifications issued by professional associations, institutions and boards; and locations of practice and number of hours spent practicing at each practice location. Such information shall be collected and maintained by the Department for manpower planning purposes in cooperation with agencies and institutions of the Commonwealth and shall be released by the Department only in the aggregate without reference to any licensee's name or other individual identifying particulars. Prior to collecting any information described in this section from individual licensees, the Department shall first attempt to obtain from other sources information sufficient for manpower planning purposes.
