Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the practice of physician assistants.
Idaho has been a leader in scope of practice reform, and many past reforms aided Idaho’s application for Rural Health Transformation funds. Further, Idaho’s RHT application indicated that the state would explore the possibility of expanding scope of practice of physician assistants. To address existing provider shortages in this state, this bill expands the scope of practice for physician assistants to assess and treat a patient without physician supervision within the education, training, and experience of the physician assistant and the standard of community care.
