Effective September 2018, the State Medical Board of Ohio no longer requires Physician Assistant Supervision Agreements to be filed with or approved by the board. Now the agreements can be managed in the physician's office with no expiration date. The agreement may be amended at any time to change the scope of practice or PA responsibilities. For your convenience, you may use the forms on our website as your template or create your own document.
To ensure consistency, supervising physicians are responsible for keeping the completed and signed agreement with the physicians records. For more information regarding supervision agreements, see
ORC 4730.19. |
