Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a supervising osteopathic physician may provide supervision to his or her physician assistant in person, electronically, telephonically or by fiber optics. When providing supervision electronically, telephonically or by fiber optics, a supervising osteopathic physician may be at a different site than the physician assistant, including a site located within or outside this State or the United States.3. A supervising osteopathic physician shall provide supervision to his or her physician assistant in person at all times during the first 30 days that the supervising osteopathic physician supervises the physician assistant. The provisions of this subsection do not apply to a federally qualified health center.4. Before beginning to supervise a physician assistant, a supervising osteopathic physician must communicate to the physician assistant:(a) The scope of practice of the physician assistant;(b) The access to the supervising osteopathic physician that the physician assistant will have; and(c) Any processes for evaluation that the supervising osteopathic physician will use to evaluate the physician assistant.5. A supervising osteopathic physician shall not delegate to his or her physician assistant, and the physician assistant shall not accept, a task that is beyond the physician assistant's capability to complete safely.6.
