Existing law requires a school district or a county superintendent of schools to require a candidate for a position requiring certification qualifications or a retirant position, if the candidate has not previously been employed in a position requiring certification qualifications in this state or has not previously been employed as a retirant, to obtain a medical certificate showing that the candidate is free from any disabling disease making him or her unfit to instruct or associate with children. Existing law requires that the medical certificate be submitted directly to the governing board of the school district or the county superintendent of schools by a physician and surgeon licensed pursuant to specified statutes or a commissioned medical officer, as specified, following the completion of a prescribed medical examination of the candidate. This bill, in addition, would authorize the submission of the medical certificate by a physician assistant practicing in compliance with specified statutes or a licensed advanced practice registered nurse acting pursuant to standardized procedures and protocols in compliance with specified statutory provisions.
