Scope of Practice

Making decisions to change scope of practice

In an era of continuous changes in healthcare, FSBPT spearheaded a collaborative effort with six healthcare regulatory organizations to develop a document called Changes in Healthcare Professions’ Scope of Practice: Legislative Considerations.

This document guides discussions on how the most effective and efficient care can be delivered to the American public. It helps legislators and regulatory bodies with making decisions about changes to healthcare professions’ scopes of practice.
