Altieri, M.D., on May 5, 2008, seeking a waiver or variance from Rules 64B8-8.007 and 8.0011(8), F.A.C., with regard to the rule provision which prohibits physicians on probation from supervising physician assistants. The Notice was published in Volume 34, No. 14, of the Florida Administrative Weekly, on May 16, 2008. The Board, at its meeting held on June 7, 2008, granted the Petition for Waiver or Variance finding that the Petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship and met the purpose of the underlying statute, and that application of the rule would violate the principles of fairness.
