Osteopathic Alert! We completed the first of several public comment periods that were very successful. The PSPA office received nearly 1200 letters in support of the proposed prescribing regulations. Board counsels’ task is to read all comments and submit a report to the Board. The regulations and comments are also being reviewed by the Internal Regulatory Review Commission. The regulatory process will be the same as we went through on the allopathic side. Thanks to everyone who participated! Stay tuned for the next public comment period!

TAKE THE NEXT STEP……… The State Board of Medicine staff and legal counsel have notified the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Assistant of the next step the supervising physician must take in the re- registration process. Any new duties that will be delegated to the physician assistant must be submitted to the State Board of Medicine. The new regulations may permit the physician assistant to perform these duties. However, they must be incorporated into the written agreement on file with the State Board of Medicine. To update the written agreement, please complete and submit the written agreement change form. This form can be found on the State Board of Medicine website at www.dos.state.pa.us/med. Click on licensure information and then board forms. Upon board approval, a confirmation letter will be mailed to the primary supervising physician. This procedure also applies to the physician assistant’s prescribing / dispensing privileges. |
