64B2-13.004Continuing Education

The Board of Chiropractic Medicine hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on December 10, 2014, by National University of Health Sciences. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Volume 40, Number 242, of the December 16, 2014, F. Administrative Register. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B2-13.004(4)(a), F.A.C., entitled “Continuing Education,” which requires that for continuing education providers to receive Board approval, a continuing education course should be submitted for the Board’s approval prior to the date of the scheduled presentation. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held January 9, 2015, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on January 27, 2015, granted the petition for variance and waiver in part and denied the petition in part. The Board voted to grant the waiver of Rule 64B2-13.004, F.A.C., for the following courses only: Clinical Neurology; Pediatrics; Women’s and Men’s Health/Geriatrics; Ethics and Risk Management; and Clinical Competencies. The Board denied the petition for the courses, Clinical Pharmacology I and Clinical Pharmacology II, because Pharmacology does not fall within the scope of practice of Florida licensed chiropractors.
