Florida Healthcare Professionals – Continuing Education Update

According to House Bill 699, the continuing education requirements for Florida healthcare professionals have changed as follows:

HIV/AIDS and Domestic Violence CE are no longer required for initial licensure,
HIV/AIDS CE is now a one-time requirement, 1-hour must be completed prior to the first renewal (if the licensee has taken a 1-hour course on HIV/AIDS, he or she have completed the requirement), and
Domestic Violence CE is now a 2-hour requirement every third renewal. For example, if the licensee renews on January 31, 2009, he or she is required to complete the Domestic Violence CE before the January 31, 2015 renewal.

This rule affects most healthcare professions in Florida, including, but not limited to nurses, physicians, dental professionals, and nursing home administrators. Please contact your professional board for further information or access the Florida Department of Health website at http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/.

* Two (2) hours of continuing education on the Prevention of Medical Errors is required each renewal.
