The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on February 20, 2009.

    The Board’s Order, filed on March 11, 2009, 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 her dental education in Columbia and her completion of the two year General Residency Program at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Additionally, Petitioner has demonstrated that strict application of subsection 64B5-2.0146(2), F.A.C., would create a substantial hardship or violate principles of fairness. Moreover, Petitioner has complied with Sections 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.
