Asked one of our PharmDs at the hospital today, “Are you required to have a supervisory or collaborative agreement with a physician in order to work here, or anywhere”? The blank look was priceless...then I heard “that’s nonsense”.
I agree!

I can’t believe @PsychToday doesn’t know that PAs in primary care, like myself, are often the FIRST to encounter and handle patients with mental health issues. I’m even more surprised that they don’t list Psych PAs as prescribers. Not a trustworthy resource until this is fixed.
Full Practice AUTHORITY (not autonomy) versus Optimal Team Practice info-graph. Federal wording versus state wording. Please RT and share to improve common understanding of what we are trying to do. #ThePetition https://t.co/YYHkban5e6
PAs were among the out-of-state health care workers who received a surprise standing ovation from NYPD for traveling to NYC to fight #COVID19. https://t.co/CQhfES2BDC @NYDailyNews
PAs are understandably subject to regulations on their practice, but they are not responsive to individual experience. A 10+ year PA practices with the same restrictions as a new grad. Doesn't make sense and is a waste of clinical potential. #PAsNeedFullPracticeAuthority
