Applicants can access the Online Licensure Application by going to www.FlHealthSource.gov and selecting “Apply for a License.” After creating an account, applicants will have up to one year to complete the application. This online system also keeps applicants informed on the current status of their application, including any deficiencies.
The mission of the Florida Department of Health and Division of Medical Quality Assurance is to protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county and community efforts. Working in conjunction with 22 boards and six councils, MQA licenses and regulates seven types of facilities and over 200 license types in more than 40 health care professions. MQA evaluates the credentials of all applicants for licensure, issues licenses, analyzes and investigates complaints, inspects facilities, assists in prosecuting practice violations, combats unlicensed activity and provides credential and discipline history about licensees to the public.
