DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Board of Medicine

The Board of Medicine hereby gives notice that it has received a Petition for Declaratory Statement filed on behalf of Garrett Gause, M.D., on August 21, 2008. The Petitioner seeks the Board’s opinion as to whether the direct supervision protocol set forth in Section 458.347(3), F.S., applies only to electrologists, and does not apply to physician assistants or advanced registered nurse practitioners performing appropriately delegated laser or light-based hair removal. The Board will consider this petition at its meeting scheduled for October 4, 2008, in Orlando, Florida.
