Board of Physical Therapy Ana Quiñones Confirmation Resolution of 2024

Impact

The passage of PR25-0691 directly impacts the governance and regulatory framework surrounding physical therapy practices in the District of Columbia. By confirming Ms. Quinones, the bill ensures that the Board of Physical Therapy is equipped with qualified members who have practical experience in the field. This can enhance the board's ability to oversee licensing, clinical practices, and the implementation of educational requirements necessary for physical therapy professionals in the district.

Summary

PR25-0691, known as the Board of Physical Therapy Ana Quinones Confirmation Resolution of 2024, concerns the confirmation of Ms. Ana Quinones as a member of the Board of Physical Therapy. This bill seeks to affirm her reappointment for a term ending on April 16, 2027. Ms. Quiñones has significant experience as a physical therapy assistant and is recognized for her contributions to the field through her work at various healthcare facilities, including the National Rehabilitation Hospital.

Contention

While the primary intent of the bill is to confirm Ms. Quiñones' position, discussions around confirmation resolutions can sometimes highlight broader concerns regarding regulatory oversight in health professions. Stakeholders may raise questions about the qualifications of board members and how these impact the standards of care provided to patients. However, in this specific instance, the resolution appears to be largely non-controversial, given Ms. Quiñones' established track record in the profession.
