Course Description:
As California slowly emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, many practitioners are wondering if now is a good time to resume seeing patients in person. With California's “reopening,” it is important for practitioners to be aware of the laws and ethics associated with safely reopening.
Join CAMFT staff attorneys Kristin Roscoe and Bradley Muldrow for a discussion about how therapists can offer services that comply with applicable laws and ethical guidelines.
This presentation will provide an overview of current mask requirements, employer considerations, coming changes to telehealth, changes to supervision for pre-licensees, and key tips for all practitioners seeing patients in person.
**UPDATE** On August 5th, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) issued a Public Health Order that mandates full vaccination to all workers working in “health care facilities” by September 30, 2021.
