Are You Renewal Ready? Webinars
The Division of Medical Quality Assurance’s Licensure Support Services (LSS) unit offers free webinars – otherwise known as online seminars – designed to keep practitioners on time and up to date in regard to maintaining their credentials.
If you have questions regarding Continuing Education (CE) requirements or the license renewal process, LSS invites you to participate in a free informative webinar hosted by the Florida Department of Health.
