An Act relative to facilitating the utilization of psychologists on the health care team
This bill amends Massachusetts law to officially include psychologists as part of the recognized health care team alongside dentists. By adding the word "psychologists" to the legal definition, the legislation aims to facilitate their integration into medical settings. The change does not create new funding or mandate specific hiring but updates the statutory language to reflect the role of psychologists in patient care.
