EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT LaSharn Hughes, Executive Director, presented the following to the Board: 1. Request from Sidney Welch of Arnall Golden Gregory, LLP for a declaratory statement that medical decision-making must be provided by a licensed physician or an advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant operating under appropriate protocols or job descriptions. The Board responded that it agreed that such decisions must be made by a licensed physician, or an advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant operating under an appropriate protocol or job description. 2. Letter from Kellie Raydon-Feeney seeking a waiver of the education, testing, and training requirements for licensure as a Naturopathic Physician. The Board denied the request because there is no licensure provision for Naturopathic Physicians in Georgia, and the Board does not have the authority to waive the law. 3. Letter from Kenneth J. Lazarus, M.D., Ph.D. asking if the Board approves or endorses the use of marijuana by a board certified addictionologists in a patient managed with opioids for chronic pain. The Board responded that it does not approve or endorse this practice. 4. Letter from Belinda Schuder asking whether a registered cardiovascular invasive specialist (RCIS) can give medication during cardiac procedures in a cardiac cath lab. The Board responded that since RCIS is not a licensed profession, a physician must administer all medications or must supervise the administration of medication. A physician may delegate the authority to assess patients to a physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse. 5. Letter from request whether a New York State licensed pathology laboratory and licensed physician would need a Georgia license to issue reports and findings in Georgia. The Board responded yes according to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 43-34-31. 6. Letter from Laura Gibson inquiring if a medical assistant can perform a tibial nerve stimulation treatment for incontinence. The Board responded that this is the practice of acupuncture, which requires a license to practice acupuncture, and referred her to the laws and rules concerning the duties a medical assistant can perform. 7. Letter from Carla Powe asking if a physician licensed in another state can proctor a physician in Georgia, if the proctoring activity included no patient contact. The Board responded that the physician proctor does not need a licensed in Georgia, but the physician being proctored must be licensed in Georgia.
