Courtney Fennick replied to Shannon Harkless's discussion Ohio State Board Changes"I looked over the changes, and I was shocked that there is only one test, and only 25% of that test is A&P, I feel this should be a much larger portion of the test in order to work in a medical profession, governed by a medical board. I was very…"
Paula Chenevey replied to Shannon Harkless's discussion Ohio State Board Changes"Just to clarify: New Ohio massage therapists will still be licensed by the Ohio State Medical Board.

Karen M. Hobson, LMT, CMT, NCTM replied to Shannon Harkless's discussion Ohio State Board Changes"Shannon,
