Bill Summary
Amending the act of October 5, 1978 (P.L.1109, No.261), entitled "An act requiring the licensing of practitioners of osteopathic medicine and surgery; regulating their practice; providing for certain funds and penalties for violations and repeals," further providing for definitions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act, which governs the licensing and practice of osteopathic medicine in Pennsylvania, by updating the definition of "primary supervising physician." Previously, a primary supervising physician had to be an osteopathic physician registered with the board; now, this bill clarifies that such a physician must be *licensed* with the board, or alternatively, can be a medical doctor *licensed with the State Board of Medicine*, and must be formally designated in a written agreement to oversee a physician assistant.
