The Board of Dentistry hereby gives notice of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Variance for Anas Selman, D.D.S. The Notice of Petition for Variance was published in Vol. 34, No. 27, of the July 3, 2008, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on September 12, 2008.

The Board’s Order, filed on October 6, 2008, grants the Petition for Variance or Waiver, finding that Petitioner has complied with the requirements of Section 120.542(2), F.S.. Specifically, Petitioner has demonstrated how the purpose of the underlying statute would be achieved or has been achieved by other means as evidenced through his supplemental studies, and practice experience.

Moreover, Petitioner has complied with Section 120.542(2), F.S. and subsection 64B5-2.0146(2), F.A.C. Based upon the foregoing, the Board determined that Petitioner is eligible for a waiver or variance of subsection 64B5-2.0146(2), F.A.C.
