Governor signs bill adding PA Board Member

Gov. Pat McCrory has signed HB 724 into law, adding a dedicated seat for a physician assistant member to the NCMB and bringing the total number of Board seats to 13.

Previously, state law dedicated one Board seat for either a physician assistant OR a nurse practitioner. Under HB 724, now Session Law 2015-213, each profession has a dedicated seat. The current makeup of the Board is eight physicians, one nurse practitioner and three public members.
