Modifies provisions relating to collaborative practice arrangements between physicians and physician assistants

HB 1567 updates rules for physician assistants (PAs) working under physician supervision. It requires new PAs to hold a master's degree, bans them from performing abortions or prescribing certain drugs without a physician-approved collaborative agreement, and mandates they identify themselves as PAs (not "doctors"). The bill specifies that physicians must be immediately available for consultation, remain responsible for PA work, and that all care must occur under written collaborative practice arrangements. These changes directly affect PAs, physicians, and patients in healthcare settings where PAs provide services.
