Committee approves PA continuing-education regulations under Board of Medical Examiners (Doc. 53-12)
Summary
The committee reported favorably on document 53-12, which establishes continuing-education categories for physician assistants under the Board of Medical Examiners, distinguishing AMA-sponsored credits from other learning activities.
Mr. Hogan, a staff member, introduced document 53-12 as implementing regulations for the Board of Medical Examiners that specifically address the committee on physician assistants.
The regulations break continuing medical education for physician assistants into two categories: Category 1 credits sponsored by the American Medical Association and Category 2 credits consisting of other learning activities. The document’s summary lists examples of Category 2 activities, including teaching residents or medical students, unstructured online research and reading authoritative literature, consultations with peers and group discussions.

The regulations will be forwarded through the committee’s reporting procedures.
