TWR Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Is Forced Supervisory Agreement Legal? Is the Supervisory Agreement every Physician Assistant forced into signing by each State legal? Being a Paralegal as well as a Physician Assistant I often ask myself that question. In my legal training for business law I was taught to find all the parties to a contract and look at the relationship of the parties individually and in groups. The Answer: The path my legal research has led me down was to discover a very interesting relationship. That being the closest relationship between the State requirement of a Supervision Agreement and the Physician Assistant is that known as peonage. Generally speaking a peon or peonage is defined as a laborer who is forced into a type of condition of involuntary servitude having little or no control over their conditions of employment.
