Increase physician assistant membership on the board of medical examiners

This bill proposes changing the composition of Montana's Board of Medical Examiners by increasing the number of physician assistants from one to two members while reducing the number of doctors of medicine from five to four. The legislation directly affects the state medical board's membership structure and would alter how medical licensing and disciplinary decisions are made. Under the new provisions, the board would still include one doctor of osteopathy, one podiatrist, one nutritionist, one emergency care provider, and two public members alongside the adjusted numbers of physicians and physician assistants. This change aims to increase representation of physician assistants on the board while maintaining the total membership count at twelve.
