A "Licensed Professional" refers to an individual who has obtained a specific license to practice in a particular field, such as medicine, law, or engineering. This license is granted by a regulatory body after the individual has met certain educational and experience requirements, and often passed an examination. The license ensures that the professional adheres to established standards and ethical practices in their profession. Licensed professionals are often required to complete continuing education to maintain their licenses and stay updated on industry changes. This ongoing education helps ensure that they provide safe and effective services to the public, reinforcing the trust placed in them by clients and society.
