Florida S0668 allows physician assistants to practice without physician supervision if they meet specific criteria.

Florida S0668 revises the criteria for physician assistants to practice without physician supervision. To qualify, a physician assistant must hold an active, unencumbered license, have no recent disciplinary actions, complete 3,000 clinical practice hours in the past five years, and demonstrate financial responsibility. They must also register with the Council on Physician Assistants. Registered assistants can practice in primary care, family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, women’s health, and psychiatry, and manage patient care in health care facilities.
