<description><![CDATA[<p>A recent statewide update from the Florida Medical Association (FMA) highlights several regulatory developments physicians should be aware of:<br /><br /><strong>Office surgery inspections: </strong>New rules now allow disciplinary action for repeat deficiencies when previously cited issues are not fully implemented or sustained following corrective action plans.</p><p><strong><br />APRN autonomous practice: </strong>The Board of Medicine is reviving the Council on APRN Autonomous Practice to review oversight and standards related to autonomous practice, following concerns about scope and enforcement. The council is expected to reconvene later this year.</p><p><br /><strong>Physician assistant supervision:</strong> Proposed rule changes would remove the phrase “reasonable physical proximity” and continue to rely on a broader “responsible supervision” standard that considers factors such as patient risk, task complexity, physician availability and practice setting.</p><p><br /><a href="https://www.flmedical.org/florida/Florida_Public/News/2026/State_regulatory_update_04_20.aspx" target="_blank">Read the full FMA regulatory update here</a>.</p>]]></description>
