When must a registrant report a change of practice location?

A registrant must report a change of practice location within a specified time frame to ensure that their records are current and to maintain transparency in their professional standing. Reporting within 10 days allows for timely updates that are essential for various regulatory and operational purposes, including maintaining accurate contact information for patients, colleagues, and regulatory bodies. This prompt reporting helps ensure that the registrant remains in compliance with the regulations set forth by the relevant licensing board.

The other options suggest either longer reporting times or conditions that do not align with the urgency required for change of practice location notifications. For example, a 60-day notice or only reporting at the time of renewal may result in outdated information in registrants' records, which can have implications for patient safety and regulatory oversight. Additionally, indicating that a registrant only needs to report if it is a permanent change overlooks the importance of updating even temporary relocations that could affect patient care or professional responsibilities.
