🚨 Important Update: Expanded Background Screening for Florida Healthcare Professionals! 🚨
Florida is strengthening its commitment to patient safety! A new bill, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, will expand criminal background screening requirements for healthcare professionals seeking licensure.
Currently, only certain professionals—such as physicians, nurses, and physician assistants—undergo mandatory background checks. However, if the bill becomes law, many more healthcare professionals will be required to complete screenings before receiving their license.
🔎 Who Will Be Affected?
In addition to the current list, the following professionals will now be required to complete background screening:
✅ Naturopaths
✅ Optometrists
✅ Pharmacists
✅ Dentists & Dental Hygienists
✅ Midwives
✅ Occupational Therapists
✅ Opticians
✅ Physical Therapists
✅ Speech-Language Pathologists
✅ Nursing Home Administrators
✅ Respiratory Therapists
✅ Dietitians
✅ Electrologists
✅ Clinical Laboratory Personnel
✅ Medical Physicists
✅ Genetic Counselors
✅ Hearing Aid Specialists
✅ Psychologists
✅ Clinical Social Workers
✅ Marriage & Family Therapists
✅ Mental Health Counselors
✅ Psychotherapists
