36-4A-29. Physician supervision--Methods. The physician, by supervision, continuous monitoring, and evaluation accepts initial and continuing responsibility for the physician assistant or assistants responsible to the physician until such relationship is terminated. Supervision may be by direct personal contact, or by a combination of direct personal contact and contact via telecommunication, as may be required by the board. If the office of a physician assistant is separate from the main office of the supervising physician, the supervision shall include on-site personal supervision by a supervising physician as required by the board. A physician assistant who is issued a temporary license pursuant to § 36-4A-8.1 shall initially receive thirty days of on-site, direct supervision by a supervising physician. Thereafter, and until expiration of the temporary license, the supervision shall include at least two one-half business days per week of on-site personal supervision by a supervising physician.
