HB 884 Volunteer licenses for dentists, dental hygienists, and optometrists.
Introduced by: Clarence E. (Bud) Phillips | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Restricted volunteer licenses for dentists, dental hygienists, and optometrists. Authorizes the Boards of Dentistry and Optometry to issue restricted volunteer licenses to dentists, dental hygienists, and optometrists who hold corresponding licenses in good standing in another state and are only practicing under the sponsorship of a nonprofit organization that arranges for the free, short-term, voluntary provision of health care services in underserved areas of Virginia. These practitioners would not be required to take a jurisprudence examination, would not be authorized to receive any payments, and could receive a restricted volunteer license spanning only the limited time necessary to participate in a single or a series of free, short-term, voluntary health care services provided on an intermittent basis at health care fairs or health care events arranged by a nonprofit sponsoring organization. At least one out-of-state nonprofit organization would like to arrange events lasting no more than a day or two for the delivery of dental and optometric services to people living in remote, underserved areas of Virginia where few, if any, dentists and optometrists practice; however, no provision for allowing out-of-state dentists, dental hygienists or optometrists to practice legally in Virginia under these circumstances presently exists.
