OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Medical doctors allowed to form association even with different specialities.

- Medical doctors are allowed to form an association even where they are specialists in different areas of the medical profession such as pediatrics, gynecology, general practice, etc., since all the doctors are practicing medicine and are governed by one board of medical examiners; on the other hand, they could not be joined in a professional association by a dentist, for example, or some member of an entirely different profession. 1963-65 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 791.

One-man out-of-state professional service corporation.

- "One-man" Florida professional service corporation formed for the purpose of practicing medicine in Florida and Georgia cannot register as a foreign corporation under provisions pertaining to the admission of foreign corporations. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-507.
