Florida: what a medical director of a psychiatry & behavioral health clinic must do
Whether Florida requires a physician medical director for a psychiatry & behavioral health clinic, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.
Notes
No general medical/clinic-director mandate found for an ordinary outpatient psychiatry/behavioral-health clinic. Ch. 394-licensed mental-health providers are affirmatively EXEMPT from the Health Care Clinic Act's director mandate (§400.9905(4)(a)) — worth flagging since the aesthetic/urgent-care/IV-hydration entries in this same file DO trigger it. Narrower Ch. 394/65E-licensed facility subtypes (e.g., crisis stabilization units, hospital-based psychiatric units) may carry their own director-type rules under Ch. 65E — not independently researched here; do not assume this absence extends to those subtypes.
