NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 17, 2010, the Board of Chiropractic Medicine has issued an order.
The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on June 17, 2010, by Julia Golod. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 36, No. 26, of the July 2, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of Rule 64B2-13.0045, Florida Administrative Code, entitled, “Continuing Education Course Required for Initial Licensure, Renewal, or Reactivation,” which requires that each applicant for licensure shall attend and certify attending a Board-approved two hour course relating to the prevention of medical errors. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held August 27, 2010, in Orlando, Florida.
The Board’s Order denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 64B2-13.0045, F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned Rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Bruce Deterding, Executive Director, Board of Chiropractic Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C07, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3257.
