The Board has made over 50 appearances in Annapolis. The Bills are moving through the legislative process.

Carole reported Kinesiotherapists, Naturopaths, and Certified Lay-Midwives will be presented to a work group/study with objective criteria and then the Board will make recommendation. POLICY- Robin Bailey reported that it seems likely that the Secretary will develop regulations for cosmetic medical procedures and cosmetic surgical facilities. The Board would like to include medical spas. Three amendments presented by the Board were discussed 1)Hospital/ambi-surg center privileges, 2)Advanced training, and 3) CMEs.
