NOTICE: Effective July 1, 2022, SB 768, Department of Health, will impact the education requirements for the Endorsement of 10 Years of Licensed Psychologist Experience Application Method. For this method only, the law redefines a “doctoral degree in psychology” as a Psy.D., Ed.D. in psychology, or a Ph.D. in psychology from a psychology program at an educational institution that, at the time the applicant was enrolled and graduated, had institutional accreditation from an agency recognized and approved by the United States Department of Education, or, was recognized as a member in good standing with the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Programmatic accreditation of the applicant’s doctoral degree in psychology, by the American Psychology Association (APA), will no longer be required for this application method as of the noted effective date. An updated application form reflecting these changes will be made available no later than July 1, 2022.

Interstate Mobility
SB 1600, Interstate Mobility was signed into law with an effective date of July 1, 2024. This legislation establishes a new universal process for licensure by endorsement for health care professions regulated by the Florida Department of Health’s (the Department’s) Division of Medical Quality Assurance. To qualify, the health care practitioner must meet specific criteria, including various testing, training, and experience qualifications for their profession. The bill also repeals existing licensure by endorsement statutes from various individual practice acts.
Each applicable board, or the Department if there is no board, shall adopt rules incorporating application forms for the MOBILE Act licensure pathway within six months after its effective date. Once the application form is finalized and adopted into rule, the DOH will begin accepting applications. Please continue to check the board website for updates.
