Telepractitioner Qualification Requirements Proposal

It is the intent of the Maine Department of Education to propose requirements for telepractitioner qualifications in a future revision of Chapter 101 (MUSER).  Until that revision is made, this message should serve as notice that in the interim, the Department will expect all telepractitioners to be (1) licensed in the state from which they are practicing if an out of state practitioner, (2) licensed in Maine, and (3) cleared through the Criminal History Record Check process (CHRC).  Questions should be directed to Jan Breton, Maine DOE’s Director of Special Services, at janice.breton@maine.gov or 207-624-6676.
