物理治療師法第12條修正之必要性——以違憲審查為中心【本期企劃】 試閱
The Necessity of Amending Article 12 of the Physical Therapists Act - Focusing on Constitutional Review
「物理治療師法」要求物理治療師於執行所有業務前均須經醫師之診斷、照會及醫囑。此嚴格限制物理治療師獨立執行業務之立法方式，放諸於各「醫事人員」之法規間亦是特立獨行的存在。本文將從「平等權審查」及「職業自由限制審查」之角度出發，評估現行法是否有違憲疑慮及修正之必要，並於文末以目前修法草案之立場回覆反對修法者之意見。
The Physical Therapists Act requires physical therapists to previously obtain a medical diagnosis, referral, or prescription before practicing. The severe restriction of the practice of physical therapists is different from other “medical personnel” regulations that allow the personnel to partly practice their duty. From the perspective of “equality” and “restriction of the right to work,” I first evaluate whether the current law is unconstitutional, and subsequently, reply to the objections of the anti-amendment practitioners from the standpoint of the draft amendment.
