To change an AHCA Medical Director, a Florida Health Care Clinic appoints a qualified replacement and updates its AHCA record — clinics are required to keep AHCA informed of a change in Medical Director, and notice/timing requirements apply. The key from a governance standpoint is planning the transition so oversight — and the required director of record — never lapses.

How do I avoid a coverage gap when changing Medical Directors?
Because lawful operation under the Health Care Clinic Act depends on having a Medical Director of record, coordinate the effective date of the incoming appointment with the outgoing one and the AHCA update so there is no window without a director.
What notice, reporting, and documentation does a director change require?
Generally the change must be reported to AHCA and the licensure record updated, with a director attestation, license verification, and any applicable background-screening documentation — confirm the current requirement and deadline for your license type.
How are records and open corrective actions transitioned?
The transition should hand off records-owner responsibilities and any unresolved corrective actions, and the new medical director should review existing protocols, credential files, and recent chart/billing documentation so oversight is real from day one.
What should the new Medical Director agreement cover?
Put the new engagement in writing — scope, responsibilities, access to charts and records, availability, survey cooperation, and transition terms — so the arrangement is substantive from the start. (If your director just resigned unexpectedly, see the urgent-replacement guide.)
