§ 119304 Physician Scope Of Practice Limitation

Key Takeaways

  • •Doctors and physician assistants can still do their jobs like before.
  • •This law doesn’t let them do anything new or extra.
  • •They still can’t do things they weren’t allowed to do before.

Example

A doctor wants to prescribe medicine to a patient.

This law doesn’t stop the doctor from prescribing medicine if they were already allowed to do it. But if the doctor wasn’t allowed to do something before, like perform surgery they aren’t trained for, this law doesn’t change that.
