The Physician Assistant Advisory Committee

A sub-committee of the MBP is the Physician Assistant Advisory Committee which advises the Board on Physician Assistant matters. The PAAC consists of 7 members appointed by the Board, of which: three are licensed physicians, one specializing in surgery and one in primary care, three are certified physician assistants, either practicing or teaching in the State of Maryland, and one a consumer, selected by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The PAs will be selected by the Board from a list of names submitted by; the Maryland Academy of Physician Assistants, and the State institutions of higher education with approved physician assistant programs. The Committee may elect its own Chair. The Committee members may serve a maximum of two consecutive three year terms.

The Committee may report to the Board any conduct of a supervising physician or a physician assistant that may be cause for disciplinary action, and any alleged unauthorized practice of a physician assistant. The Committee reviews individual job description applications, may interview the applicants and their supervising physicians and recommends approval or rejection to the Board.

The PAAC generally meets at the MBP on the first Wednesday of every month at 4:00 PM. See the calendar (currently unavailable) for further details. With the exception of disciplinary action discussion, a majority of the Committee's activities are conducted during open session and are open to the public.
