            A discussion was held regarding amendments to OAC 435:15-3-13. Application to Practice relating to denial of an Application to Practice for failure to demonstrate that proper supervision would be provided.  The Committee had requested at the last meeting that staff develop rule changes that would allow the Board to deny licenses to PAs who failed to show that the supervising physician would be available in a timely manner.  Staff reported that after review with the Board’s attorneys, it was felt the rules already cover the issue.  The Board has ability to deny an application based on failure to demonstrate that adequate supervision would be provided, even due to distance or time.  The Committee felt that OAC 435:15-3-13 along with OAC 435:15-5-1. Supervision; physician responsibility; independent care prohibited provided adequate direction for approving or deny an application based on distance and time away from the supervisor. 



            Amendments made to OAC 435:15-3-1.  Applicants for licensure were discussed.  The rule had been amended to be effective July 1, 2007.  Staff requested clarification on who would be affected by the rule, specifically just graduates after July 1, 2007 or would it include all applicants applying after July 1.  Dr. McNeill reported programs that would have been affected have changed their standards to meet the new requirement beginning with students entering this year.  He said programs at North Dakota and Stanford have groups just entering their clinical years who will be affected.  After discussion, Dr. McNeill moved to have the rule apply to applicants who graduates after July 1, 2007.  Dr. Wootan seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in the affirmative.


  


            In follow-up from the last meeting, Ms. Podolec reported on her research into development of a Voluntary Physician Assistant licensure.  She said the Voluntary Medical License statutes do not cover PAs.  If the Committee and Board wanted to develop such a license, it would require a law change in the PA act. 


 


            There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.  The time was 3:40 p.m.
