Physician Associates Plan Push to Ease State Practice Restrictions

Physician associates are preparing a state legislative agenda for 2027 as the year comes to a close.

The agenda is expected to include easing restrictions on their scope of practice.

Scope-of-practice rules set limits on what physician associates are allowed to do in their work.

The issue involves physician associates across the United States.

Their effort will focus on state laws, rather than a single national change.

The next step is for physician associates to pursue their legislative agenda in 2027.
