§ 1738. Use of title
Any person who is certified to practice as a physician's assistant in this state shall have the right to use the title "physician's assistant" and the abbreviation "P.A.". No other person may assume that title or use that abbreviation, or any other words, letters, signs, or devices to indicate that the person using them is a physician's assistant. A physician's assistant shall not so represent himself or herself unless there is currently in existence, a valid contract between the physician's assistant and his or her employer supervising physician, and unless the protocol under which the physician's assistant's duties are delegated is on file with, and has been approved by, the board.
