The Board of Physicians Assistants was formed in 1976 in order to carry out the Department of Health's role in protecting the public through its authority to license and discipline health care professionals. The Board's composition is prescribed by statute: two licensed physician assistants, two medical or osteopathic physicians, two officers of health care facilities and one member of the general public. It meets at least once per quarter. Additional meetings are scheduled as needed in accordance with the Open Meetings Law.
