Strongly Opposed. Protect the Public
 

This ammendment allows for the deception of the public into thinking they are in the hands of a specialist when in reality they may be seeing someone who took a weekend class at a Holiday Inn. The standard and quality of care delivered to the public will be lowered by this ammendment as anyone and everyone can claim a "specialty" designation without proper credentialing and training. Please vote NO to this ammendment.
