Physician Assistants Act

This act governs the practice of physician assistants — health care practitioners who deliver medical services under the supervision of, or in collaboration with, a licensed physician. It sets the conditions for entering and remaining in the profession, including qualification and licensing requirements, the scope of medical acts that may be delegated to a physician assistant, and the supervising physician's responsibilities. Administration is placed with a state health-occupations regulatory body, which issues and renews credentials, adopts implementing rules, and disciplines practitioners who violate the act's standards.
