Filed as: South Dakota Board of Medical and Osteopathic Medicine
The Medical Board is streamlining physician assistant supervision rules to align with state law by removing outdated regulations that specified supervision details and instead referencing the current statutory requirements for collaborative agreements. Physician assistants who are not exempt from needing a collaborative agreement must still use a board-approved form and notify the board if the agreement ends, but many of the prescriptive board rules about how supervision must be conducted have been eliminated. The Board also added a registration fee and process for non-resident physicians who want to train in South Dakota for less than 90 days. These changes reduce regulatory complexity while keeping the core requirement that most physician assistants work under a supervising physician's collaborative agreement.
