(A) The board may issue a limited physician assistant license to an applicant who has:
(1) submitted a completed application on forms provided by the board;
(2) paid the nonrefundable application fees established by this regulation;
(3) successfully completed an educational program for physician assistants approved by the American Medical Association Counsel on Medical Education;
(4) never previously failed two consecutive NCCPA certifying examinations and has registered for, or intends to register to take the next offering of, the NCCPA examination;
(5) certified that he or she is mentally and physically able to engage safely in practice as a physician assistant;
(6) no licensure, certificate, or registration as a physician assistant under current discipline, revocation, suspension, probation, or investigation for cause resulting from the applicant's practice as a physician assistant;
(7) good moral character;
(8) submitted to the board any other information the board considers necessary to evaluate the applicant's qualifications;
(9) appeared before a board member with his or her supervising physician and all original diplomas and certificates and demonstrated knowledge of the contents of this article;
(10) successfully completed an examination administered by the committee on the statutes and regulations regarding physician assistant practice and supervision.
(B) A limited license is not renewable and is valid only until the results of a limited licensee's two consecutive NCCPA certifying examinations are reported to the board. When a limited licensee has failed two consecutive NCCPA certifying examinations, or fails one exam and does not take the NCCPA certifying examination at the next opportunity or, after applying for a limited license, fails to register for the next offering of the examination, the limited license is immediately void and the applicant is no longer eligible to apply for further limited licensure.
(C) The supervising physician of a limited licensee must be physically present on the premises at all times when the limited licensee is performing any task. No on-the-job training, or task not listed on the application, may be approved for a limited license holder.
