Dear NAPA Members:

Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners Board Meeting on March 8 2013  was well represented by the Nevada Academy of Physician Assistants, Board of Directors. 
We discussed in detail proposed changes R182-12 and R183-12. It is unfortunate that despite your persistent support, R182-12 and R183-12 will be postponed until after the Legislative Sessions in June. 
 
The upcoming changes in Healthcare reform will demand more effective Physician-PA teams to support the increase in availability of care. We as the Nevada Academy of Physician Assistants feel that R182-12 and R183-12, will allow improvements in healthcare in our state. 
 
We are dedicated in our efforts to advocate for Nevada Physician Assistants and feel that with your continued support we can impact these growing demands in our communities. We will continue to reiterate that R182-12 and R183-12 are vital regulatory changes that will promote a positive change in our healthcare system, in our community and with our Physician-PA teams. Thank you for your continued support.
