Healthcare Attorney Troy Bundy Discusses New Oregon Law for Physicians Assistants

Beginning July 15, 2022, Oregon Licensed Physicians Assistants (PAs) may begin entering into collaboration agreements to shift their practice from a supervisory to a collaborative practice model. By the end of 2023, all Oregon licensed PAs must enter into a collaborative agreement, and all other practice agreements and practice descriptions will be terminated. The new law essentially expands the scope of PA practice and independence in Oregon. To read the Draft of the proposed changes in the relevant Administrative Rules, click here.
