States modernize PA practice laws to expand healthcare workforces
Summary
Technology has expanded the role that physician assistants, regulated by state medical boards, can play in healthcare delivery. Spurred by the Rural Health Transformation Program, more states that have been dealing with the pain of physician shortages are taking action to give PAs more autonomy in primary care practice.Proponents argue these changes would quickly increase their healthcare workforces, reduce patient wait times and fulfill promises made under the federal RHTP.
