Chembody Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) It is my understanding that PA's work alongside MD's and DO's in many settings, but does the DO qualify as being a supervising physician or is that solely a role fulfilled by an MD? Also, it is becoming increasingly common that ND's obtain an unrestricted medical license and become PCP's. Can a PA work with an ND in a PCP setting? Any information is appreciated.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 11, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2019 A PA can work with an MD/DO and in some states a podiatrist. There are no states that allow a PA to work with an ND or DC. Most NDs are limited in their RX rights to only medicines of natural origin. no synthetic products.

Colorado Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 My first SP was a D.O. Which was interesting because he performed Acupuncture as part of his practice (had additional medical acu training) which per my state law, would allow me to train in and perform medical acupuncture as part of my practice. Kinda neat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
