Notice regarding Allied Health Advisory Board

During the 2024 Legislative Session, the Idaho Legislature passed H0436. This legislation consolidated four advisory boards to the Board of Medicine—the dietetic licensure board, the board of athletic trainers, the licensure board for respiratory therapy, and the naturopathic medical board—into a single Allied Health Advisory Board. This legislation is expected to improve the administrative efficiency of the Board of Medicine. For licensees, there will be no changes. The Board of Medicine will remain the ultimate licensing and discipline authority for Respiratory Therapists, Athletic Trainers, Dietitians, and Naturopathic Medical Doctors. The regulations and scope of practice for each profession remain unchanged, as does the formulary for Naturopathic Medical Doctors.
