GRPAC Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi all, Was wondering if any of you, who I'm sure are much more knowledgeable than me on the formal PA rules, can help me out. I am a PA in nj. I work in a large department..where we're have multiple attendings and numerous PAs. Each attending is assigned a PA who is our supervising physician. Some of us (such as myself) have two "supervising physicians" appointed by nature of our specific division. All of my clinical work falls under the reign of my two specific supervising physicians. My question is this...Am I allowed, under my current lisence, to go and cover clinical responsibilities for one or many of the OTHER attendings in my group??? In other words...can I go do office hours with/for one our dept attendings, who is not specifically appointed my supervising physician? Thanks for any and all help!!

rpackelly Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That would be very state specific, ask your state academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ERCat Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I would like to know how this works, too. I have three "supervising physicians" on paper, but I work with 15 to 20 different doctors depending on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Being a PA is crazy with so many SPs. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We need full practice responsibility and autonomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If state laws allow for alternate supervising physicians, then they just have to be listed with your specific licensing board- every state that allows for an alternate physician has a different mechanism for doing so.

Will352ns Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 In Florida every Doc I may work with has to be listed and sent to the state. I have over 40 sp's. Everyone is my boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure this is correct... Can you cite the specific rule? I work in Florida, and have only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHU-CH Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 New Jersey allows for delegated supervisory authority. It is used all the time in the ER. My supervisor of record used to be the department chair who never worked a clinical shift with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong. Could a group rule...maybe? I work for a large national group in a busy ER and they insist on it. I have a few friends who also work ER in Florida who have to do the same thing with different groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
