Physician Assistant Licensure Information

On May 17, 2006 new legislation was enacted that changed how physician assistants work in Ohio. Notable changes included allowing physician assistants to see new patients with new conditions, identifying the physician assistants' scope of practice in statute and allowing physician assistants' prescriptive authority (to be effective Spring 2007).

The Physician Assistant Policy Committee and the Medical Board are currently promulgating rules to incorporate these changes in the Ohio Administrative Code.

Keep watching this website for updates regarding the implementation of this new legislation.
