In this episode we talk about two bills being proposed in Florida: SB 230 and HB 583 which defines who can and cannot use the word Doctor and Physician I read both bills and brought out the little subsections for you: For purposes of the advocacy of our profession - I do recommend advocating for bills that increase our scope of practice - you'll see in this episode that I explain this mindset when viewing legislation.  Whenever I look at bills - I ask first - is this bill going to increase my ability to treat patients or limit?  this bill doesn't seem to limit our ability to treat patients from the getgo but there could be insurance issues down the line because of the words or lack of the words physician and doctor. I also recommend we advocate for expanding our legislature to include in our own practice act more definitions for ourselves because as you'll see in this episode we only have the word Acupuncturist in our definitions and we only have include other designations in our prohibited acts section So please reach out to our Florida legislators to advocate for our Acupuncture profession! myfloridahouse.gov/findyourrepresentative   contact  Rep Charles Clemons Sr   Rep Dr Ralph Massula
