SB 436 Adds Momentum to Ohio’s PA Title Change Effort

OAPA is proud to announce the introduction of Senate Bill 436 updating the professional title from Physician Assistant to Physician Associate, sponsored by Senator George Lang (R-West Chester). As a companion bill to HB 353, SB 436 is a straightforward piece of legislation that seeks to improve clarity for patients, healthcare organizations, and policymakers alike, without changing PA scope, supervision, or pay.
