Minnesota HF89 modifies physician assistant collaborative agreement requirements for licensure.

Minnesota HF89 amends the qualifications for licensure of physician assistants by modifying the collaborative agreement requirements. The bill specifies that a physician assistant must practice for at least 2,080 hours within a hospital or integrated clinical setting under a collaborative agreement with a physician. The collaborating physician does not need to be physically present if they can be easily contacted via radio, telephone, or other telecommunication devices. The physician assistant must submit written evidence of this practice experience to the board.
