Florida Healthcare Professions
Florida regulates healthcare professionals through profession-specific practice acts, Chapter 456, Florida Statutes, and rules adopted by the Department of Health and individual boards. The governing standards differ by profession, but investigations, applications, disciplinary proceedings, and emergency actions often share a common administrative framework.
