Q: How can I get a Board agenda?
A: You may request to be placed on the Boards
Interested Parties list. The Board routinely sends out Agenda
Outlines to interested parties 7-10 days prior to an upcoming board
meeting. Copies of the full "public" agenda are also

Q: How can I file a complaint against a licensee?
A: You may print the Complaint Form with the Authorization for Release of Patient
Records from the list below or call 1-888
419-3456 or (850) 414-1976 to request one by mail. To avoid delays in the process, please complete all sections of the form and attach the requested information. All complaints must be legibly written or typed, and signed.
To file a complaint on a non-medical related business or
profession, please visit the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Q: How can I check if someone is licensed?
A: You may use our License
Look-Up Search Screen. The best results often occur when the system receives the
least amount of information. Some techniques include only providing the county where the practitioner is located or the
last name or the first letter of his name, or select
a profession. If licensee is one of our profiled professions, there will be a
link at the upper right portion of the screen that says Link to Practitioner Profile. This
will take you to practitioner reported information about their
education, specialty certification, etc.
Q: How can I get a list of licensee information?
A: To obtain an electronic listing of active and inactive licensee’s
mailing addresses and license status for DOH/ MQA regulated professions use
our Licensee Data Information service. Please note: The department does
not maintain email addresses, fax or telephone numbers in the normal
course of business.

personal trainer?

you are practicing athletic training. If you are a personal trainer and
in business for yourself, you may need to register with the Department
of Agriculture & Consumer Services as a health studio. They can be

Q: Does the board of Athletic Training mail newsletters
to the current licensees?
