Editor’s notes. - For application of

this statute in 2020, see Executive Order 03.20.20.02.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Determination of medical tasks physician’s assistant eligible to perform. - Because it is a matter strictly for the Composite State Board of Medical Examiners (now Georgia Composite Medical Board) to determine the nature and scope of the medical tasks for which any physician’s assistant (PA) may be qualified to perform, the idea that any other entity can determine whether it is appro-

priate for a PA to perform any specific type of procedure, whether or not the procedure is contained within the PA’s job description, is contrary to the purposes and intent of O.C.G.A.
