Medical assistants may be employed under the supervision of a certain physician in all areas of the hospital, including hospital care, emergency departments, surgery, outpatient clinics, staff and outreach health programs. APs also operate in non-clinical areas such as management, quality assurance, risk management, health planning and research. PAs who are employed by a hospital or who have extensive privileges may, if the hospital`s regulations, rules and regulations permit, write medical prescriptions for inpatients under the responsibility of the doctor responsible for paPa supervision. A counter-signature of these orders may be necessary if deemed necessary and appropriate by the supervisory physician or the hospital, but is in no way necessary before the execution against the signatures. Registered nurses can order a PaPa. The State Department of Education said the PA was acting as the doctor`s agent; and a nurse, technician or pharmacist is expected to have a particular reason for questioning a prescription, medical order or medical plan order ordered by a PaPa, so that she performs the mission as if it had been ordered directly by the doctor. NPNs are recognized as primary service providers in public policy. The primary provider is a physician or nurse who provides the medical and medical care of a patient in primary care and management.

A medical assistant is considered a dependent physician who works under the supervision of a licensed physician responsible for the actions of the medical assistant. The supervisory physician may delegate to the medical assistant all medical procedures or tasks for which the medical assistant is properly trained and qualified and which are performed regularly in the normal setting of the doctor`s office.

Medical assistants may not perform certain tasks reserved for certain related health professions, such as the practice of radiology and the practice of optometry.
