Current through Reg. 50, No. 187; September 24, 2024
(1) Indirect Supervision. Whenever a license
is placed on probation or otherwise restricted in such a manner as to require
the respondent to practice under indirect supervision, the term indirect
supervision does not require that the monitoring practitioner practice on the
same premises as the respondent; however, the monitor shall practice within a
reasonable geographic proximity to the respondent, which shall be within 20
miles unless otherwise authorized by the Board, and shall be readily available
for consultation.
(2) Direct
Supervision. Whenever a license is placed on probation or otherwise restricted
in such a manner as to require the respondent to practice under direct
supervision, the term direct supervision requires that the respondent practice
only if the supervisor is on the premises.
(3) Provisions governing all supervised or
monitored practitioners.
(a) The
supervisor/monitor shall be furnished with copies of the Administrative
Complaint, Final Order, Stipulation (if applicable), and other relevant
orders.
(b) The respondent shall
not practice without a supervisor/monitor unless otherwise ordered. The
respondent shall appear at the next meeting of the Board with his proposed
supervisor/monitor unless otherwise ordered.
(c) After the next meeting of the Board, the
respondent shall only practice under the supervision of the supervisor/monitor.
If for any reason the approved supervisor/monitor is unwilling or unable to
serve, the respondent and the supervisor/monitor shall immediately notify the
Executive Director of the Board, and the respondent shall cease practice until
a temporary supervisor/monitor is approved. The Chairman of the Board shall
approve a temporary supervisor/monitor who shall serve in that capacity until
the next meeting of the Board, at which time the Board shall accept or reject a
new proposed supervisor/monitor. If the Board rejects the proposed supervisor,
the respondent shall cease practice until the Board approves a new
supervisor/monitor.
(d) The
supervisor/monitor must be a licensee under chapter 480, F.S., in good standing
and without restriction or limitation on his license. In addition, the Board
shall reject any proposed supervisor/monitor on the basis that he or she has
previously been subject to any disciplinary action against his/her license. The
supervisor/monitor must be actively engaged in the same or similar specialty
area unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board will also reject any
proposed supervisor/monitor whom the Board finds has violated the Board's rules
or Chapter 456 or 480, F.S.
(4) For purpose of determining the dates when
reports are due, the date the Final Order is filed shall constitute the
beginning of the quarter.
(a) All quarterly
reports shall be provided to the Board office no later than three months from
the filing date of the Final Order.
(b) All semiannual reports shall be provided
to the Board office no later than six months from the filing date of the Final
Order.
(c) All annual reports shall
be provided to the Board office no later than twelve months from the filing
date of the Final Order.
