What are the duties of the board in relation to the Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) list?

The duties of the board specifically include the responsibility to keep a list of the names and addresses of each Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). This function is essential for maintaining an up-to-date registry of practitioners who meet the state's licensing requirements. Such a list serves multiple purposes, including ensuring accountability, facilitating communication with licensed professionals, and allowing for public access to verify the credentials of individuals practicing massage therapy in Maryland.

Keeping this list helps the board regulate the practice effectively and ensures that only those who are properly licensed can provide massage therapy services, which is crucial for public safety and professional standards in the field. This registry also assists in managing any disciplinary actions or complaints that may arise against LMTs, contributing to overall governance and oversight of the profession.
