I see VT was able to change their name with a minor piece of legislation.....:) VT 5/20/13 HB 26 Changes "physician's assistant" to "physician assistant."

LKPAC Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I wonder which states have the best PA laws. Sitting pretty good here in Nebraska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primadonna22274 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I see SC has come into the 2000s :) but seriously, I'm glad to see progress. Much better than it was when I moved here from Oregon 8 yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 MI is a good state for practice. No chart or script co-sigs required. Controlled substance privileges for II-V, with our name on the prescription and a letter of delegation on file from the physician. Supervision is determined at the practice level. 2014 has SB 568 stalled. The intent is for PAs to have their own board, enter into collaborative relationships with physicians and deletion of the terms supervision and delegation, plus getting rid of the apostrophe s. We will carry on. Many steps forward for the 42 states, a few with leaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 TX is a good state to practice in, unless you want to own your own practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paula Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great Video. It tells me AAPA has given all state chapters the Green light to work for collaborative practices and do do away with antiquated terminology such as 'supervision', 'dependence' and 'delegation'. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work for at least one state in the union to achieve this goal in 2014. Who will it be????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2014 The following was recently sent to the board of doctor's without borders by PAFT in support of PAs working with their organization: Doctors without Borders position on PAs Doctors without Borders/MSF currently does not use PAs for field staff disaster volunteers. Per your website: “Does MSF recruit Physician Assistants?No. The traditional Physician Assistant role of primary health care provider is done by the national staff in the field.” We would ask that you reexamine this position. PAs function on disaster medical teams throughout the United States and throughout the world. More than 10,000 individuals (ten percent of all PAs) work full time in the specialty of emergency medicine and would be appropriate providers for your field placements. Many PAs are former paramedics and emergency or critical care nurses and their training in PA school increased their understanding of emergency medicine through required rotations in this specialty. PAs receive over 2000 hours of clinical training during their educational process. Many nurse practitioners (who are already utilized by your organization) received less than half the training a typical PA receives. PAs currently are members of Federal Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) in all 50 states. PAs are members of the U.S. Public Health Service Disaster response teams. PAs already serve on many international disaster medical teams today. PAs are used extensively throughout the U.S. military in combat and disaster situations. Thank you for examining your position on the field placement of PAs on disaster response teams with Doctors without Borders/MSF. ( A request was also sent to the president of the AAPA asking them to support this proposal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
