Senate Bill 1496 aims to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63, Chapter 6, by adding new specializations within the practice of medicine. Specifically, it introduces three new subdivisions under Section 63-6-204(m)(1): "Clinical informatics," "Lifestyle medicine," and "Medical virtualist." These additions recognize the evolving nature of medical practice and the importance of these emerging fields.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for the public welfare. By formally incorporating these new medical specializations into the legal framework, the bill seeks to enhance the scope of practice for healthcare professionals in Tennessee.
