Rep. Arvin Venkat and Rep. Kristin Marcell have introduced a legislative package, HB 75 and HB 76. These legislative packages would amend the physician licensure acts in Pennsylvania to allow physician assistants to work with either classification of physician, a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, without having to align with the physician’s license type. The current law requires that physician assistants and supervising physicians must be licensed by the same state board.
