Health Care - As introduced, adds clinical informatics, lifestyle medicine, and medical virtualist to the list of words or abbreviations that a person may attach to a name to indicate or induce another person to believe that the person is engaged in the practice of medicine or osteopathic medicine. - Amends TCA Title 63, Chapter 6.

HB 1655 would update Tennessee's medical practice law to explicitly allow healthcare professionals to use the terms "clinical informatics," "lifestyle medicine," and "medical virtualist" after their name to indicate their specialty within medical practice. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, Chapter 6, adding these terms to the list of permitted designations that do not mislead the public about a person's medical credentials. This change directly affects medical professionals working in these specific specialties who wish to accurately describe their practice to patients. It is a technical update to clarify legal standards for professional designations, not a substantive change to medical practice requirements.
