Modifies provisions relating to collaborative practice arrangements between physicians and physician assistants

Summary

The bill deletes the current Section 334.735 and replaces it with a new version that defines key terms, limits the services physician assistants (PAs) may perform, and requires a written collaborative practice agreement with a physician for any prescribing. It also adds licensing standards, such as a master’s degree requirement for programs after 2008, and prohibits PAs from using the title “doctor.” The changes would affect all PAs, supervising physicians, and the state Board of Registration for the Healing Arts.
