Florida Board of Psychology Survey: Delegation of Professional Responsibilities
The Florida Board of Psychology is in the process of developing legislation to define those professional responsibilities which may or may not be delegated to individuals who are not otherwise licensed as a health care practitioner in a profession regulated under Section 456, F.S. or employed in the capacity of a psychology intern, residency or practicum student. The purpose of this survey is to provide for public input into the process and not intended to identify any individual or entity for the purpose of disciplinary action. Please note that survey data will be collected, analyzed and reported to the Board by the Division of Medical Quality Assurance’s Strategic Planning Unit. Responses to the survey will not be traceable to any particular individual or entity. The survey is currently scheduled to be available through March 31, 2012. Click here to participate.
