Meet your AB487 requirement for relicensure in 2006:

In 1999, to improve the practice of pain management and palliative care in California and minimize the risk of under-management of pain and other symptoms, eg, the Berman Case, the California legislature passed AB 487 (14K PDF). This precedent setting bill requires all practicing physicians to complete 12 hours of continuing medical education in pain management and palliative care in order to renew their license in 2006 (except radiologists and pathologists).
