Supervision of Non-Physician Health Care Providers
Delegation
of Medical Tasks
The Medical Practice Act allows physicians to delegate any medical
task (except prescribing) to persons who are appropriately qualified
to carry out the task by virtue of experience, education or training.
Any person so delegated a medical task, must be under the personal,
responsible direction and supervision of a Colorado licensed physician.
No registration or certification is required for these parties,
however, they are not allowed to practice independently and may
not prescribe medications.
Refer
to Board Rule 800 for more information.
