Relates to the use of fluoroscopy by physician assistants

This bill allows licensed physician assistants in New York to use fluoroscopy (real-time x-ray imaging) during medical procedures, such as guiding injections or minimally invasive treatments. To do so, physician assistants must complete a 40-hour didactic course, 40 hours of clinical training, and pass a department-approved competency exam. The law defines fluoroscopy as an x-ray technique providing continuous imaging to track instruments or body parts during procedures. It takes effect 180 days after enactment, with immediate rulemaking authority to implement requirements. The bill directly affects physician assistants and their scope of practice in diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
