OAR 847-050-0035: Grounds for Discipline

(1) The performance of unauthorized medical services by the physician associate constitutes a violation of the Medical Practice Act. The physician associate is subject to disciplinary action for violations. Proceedings under these rules are conducted in the manner specified in ORS 677.200. (2) In addition to any of the reasons cited in ORS 677.190, the Board may refuse to grant, or may suspend or revoke a license to practice as a physician associate for any of the following reasons: (a) The physician associate has held themselves out, or permitted another to represent the physician associate to be a licensed physician. (b) The physician associate has in fact performed medical services without entering into a collaboration agreement. (c) The physician associate has performed medical services beyond the physician associate's competence, education, training, experience, or outside the collaboration agreement as stated in OAR 847-050-0082. This is not intended to limit the ability of a physician associate to learn new procedures.
