 2.61-1 Provisions for Offering Training in other Health
 Occupations. Training involving other health
 occupations may be offered providing the training
 required is similar to that for practical nursing;
 is of less than college grade and is given in schools
 or classes; combines theoretical instruction and
 learning through supervised practice; develops
 basic understandings and necessary skills
 required in providing nursing care or other
 health services to the patient; is not so simple or
 brief as to be more easily provided by employers
 as a part of employee orientation; employment
 opportunities in the occupation in hospitals or
 other health agencies warrant setting up a training
 program; and the occupation is not recognized as
 an occupation in other than the health field. In
 applying this condition the scope and nature of the
 duties rather than the title of the occupation is basic.

2.62 Requirements for Enrollment.

 2.62-1 In-Service Training. Such persons shall be employed
 (or temporarily unemployed) in the health occupation
 for which in-service training is provided.

 2.62-2 Preparatory Training. No preparatory training for
 this group will be provided where federal, state, or
 local public school funds are used unless all the
 above conditions are met.

2.63 Provisions for Recruitment, Selection, and Placement of
 Preparatory Students. No public school training is to be
 provided for students in this category; therefore, provision
 for recruitment, selection, and placement of preparatory
 students shall be a function of employing hospitals and
 health agencies.

2.64 Basis for Establishment of Training in Terms of Need.
 Possible needs may be indicated through requests for
 courses received by the state supervisor through local
 boards of education. Since training in this area will be
 limited in Florida to in-service preparation, need for
 specific courses will be determined through joint meetings
 with all individuals and groups concerned.
