A sourcebook to be used by policymakers, regulators, licensees, and consumers who wish to gain a better understanding of the regulation of the major professions and occupations within the 50 states. Topics covered include licensing restrictions, board disciplinary activities, and current licensure trends. The limited available literature on the subject of licensure demonstrates that state professional and occupational licensure boards play a critical role in protecting the public from unqualified and unscrupulous practitioners. The primary responsibility of the boards is to protect consumers by ensuring that practitioners meet established criteria for admission, maintain competency, and adhere to ethical and practice standards.Among the major issues explored are the historical development of licensure, licensing restrictions, public participation in licensure board functions, board disciplinary activities, current licensure trends, and other forms of regulation. This book also provides references and brief summaries of other works of interest and identifies the type of regulation the various states employ to monitor members of the major professions and occupations.

Tillfälligt slut
The modern era is one of organizations, and as we approach the next century there is little evidence that the importance of institutions in society will diminish. As they have grown in scope and number so has material published by and about them. Yet managers, academicians and their students, and researchers do not have ready access to information about these significant organizations, more and more people need such data to assist in defining and solving problems. This series is an authoritative guide to information sources on the subject. It seeks to consolidate published material on a wide variety of public, private, and non-profit organizations including: (a) federal agencies, Congressional committees, the judicial branch, and international bodies (b) corporations, interest groups, trade unions, and consulting firms; as well as (c) professional associations, scientific societies, and educational institutions. Each book will be compiled by one or more specialists in the area. The non-profit research organizations which analyze public policy questions and often advocate solutions are now known by the familar name, "think tank." They have become as much a part of the process that influences government as interest groups, the media, political consultants, and the political parties. Their growth indicates that ideas count for much in contemporary politics and underscores the observation that "modern nations run on ideas." In this valuable sourcebook, the reader will get an opportunity to glimpse the expanding and complex landscape of the modern political think tanks.
