AI Summary
This bill amends the Medical Practice Act of 1985 by updating the definitions of "Doctor of Osteopathy or Osteopathic Doctor" and "Primary Supervising Physician." The key changes are: 1) clarifying that a "Doctor of Osteopathy or Osteopathic Doctor" is an individual licensed to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery by the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine under the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act; and 2) specifying that a "Primary Supervising Physician" can be either a medical doctor licensed by the Board of Medicine or a Doctor of Osteopathy/Osteopathic Doctor licensed by the State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, who is designated in a written agreement with a physician assistant as having primary responsibility for supervising the physician assistant.
