legislated profession

[prabh]

Hi Everyone!

I am a pre-health student, still unsure of where to go. I was doing some research on optometry and I just found out that optometry is a legislated profession. Why is this? Also are all medical professions legislated by each state or just optometry? Thank you in advance for your input!!

Optometry, dentistry, and I think podiatry are legislated. OTs, social workers and all those people are too.
