The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel also licenses public health laboratory personnel, training programs, trainees (those participating in training programs), continuing education programs, and temporary licenses for spouses of active duty military personnel. These special licenses have requirements described in the regulations and/or statutes.
- Public health laboratory scientists can only work in a public health laboratory.
- Trainees are registered to participate in Board-approved training programs to gain laboratory experience.
- Training programs are licensed to ensure they meet specific standards and provide appropriate training.
- The board approves continuing education providers after they submit information to CEBroker, the organization designated to keep all laboratory personnel's continuing education records for the Department of Health.
- By statute, a spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces assigned to a duty station in Florida may be issued a special temporary license. The license is valid for only one year. The Florida Department of Health maintains a page on its website addressing this law and others concerning active duty personnel, spouses of active duty personnel, and veterans seeking to obtain laboratory personnel licensure in Florida.
