Alabama Administrative Code › Title 746 - ALABAMA BOARD OF PROSTHETISTS AND ORTHOTISTS › Chapter 746-X-1 - ORGANIZATION, ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURE › Section 746-X-1-.01 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The Alabama State Board of Prosthetists and Orthotists was created to protect the public safety, health and welfare by setting standards for licensure in the practice of prosthetics and orthotics. It is also the duty of the Board to ensure that the public is protected from the incompetent practice of prosthetics and orthotics. This purpose is achieved through the establishment of minimum qualifications for entry into the profession, through the issue of licenses, license renewals and through the adoption of rules defining and delineating unlawful conduct, and through swift and effective discipline for those practitioners who violate the applicable laws or rules promulgated there under.
