Iowa HF305 expands the qualifications for county medical examiners to include advanced registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
Iowa HF305 amends the qualifications for county medical examiners to include advanced registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Previously, only licensed physicians, osteopathic physicians, and surgeons could serve in this role. The bill allows county boards of supervisors to appoint these additional medical professionals from lists submitted by medical societies or to appoint them directly if no lists are provided. This change aims to provide more flexibility in appointing qualified individuals to serve as county medical examiners.
