2. I can understand the motivations behind this kind of training, but -- FIFTY HOURS ?? EVERY TWO YEARS ??

That's a full work week, plus a working weekend. That's people giving up time from their professional careers, and service to their patients, because someone, somewhere, thinks that's how much it takes. Does the burden really need to be so onerous ? And shouldn't the need for reinforcement decline after you've been through the training already ? This is the kind of thing that leads to charges of "government overreach" seeming plausible.

Proponents need to go back to the drawing board, and come up with some peer-reviewed, certified analysis of the level of training credibly needed.
