Can a physician assistant inject or prescribe in New Hampshire?
Who treats · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle scope — they set only supervision: a physician associate under 8,000 post-graduate clinical hours with no NH physician in the practice needs a written collaboration agreement; over 8,000 hours, apply to the board for a waiver.
Except as provided in RSA 328-D:15, III and RSA 328-D:16, II, a physician associate who has fewer than 8,000 hours of post-graduate clinical practice and practices without at least one licensed New Hampshire physician in the group, practice, or health system shall enter into a written collaboration agreement with a New Hampshire licensed physician who practices in a similar area of medicine; and a physician associate with more than 8,000 post-graduate clinical practice hours who intends to practice in such a setting shall apply to the board of medicine for a waiver of the collaboration agreement requirement.

← All New Hampshire rules and changes · MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
