An Act amending the act of October 5, 1978 (P.L.1109, No.261), known as the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act, further providing for power to license, for visiting team physician and for licenses, exemptions, nonresident practitioners, graduate students, biennial registration and continuing medical education.
What changed between versions
The bill was amended to apply specifically to the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act, ensuring that visiting team physician exemptions and temporary graduate licenses are available to osteopathic practitioners.
A new provision was added granting temporary graduate licenses to osteopathic medical college graduates upon receiving their degree, valid for 12 months to participate in approved training.
The visiting team physician exemption was updated to explicitly include physicians licensed in other states or countries, clarifying that osteopathic physicians are eligible for this exemption.
The bill text was reorganized to match the structure of the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act, and the list of sponsors was updated to include Senator Webster following Senate amendments.
