As a critical care PA, I am a member of a large and interdisciplinary care team. Because of this, it is quite rare that I work with my designated supervising physician. I am always working collaboratively with attending physicians, but this changes every 12 hours based on the nature of my work and shift work in general. Adding the requirement for physician signature for controlled substances seems both redundant in the setting of my training and DEA certifications; it also adds confusion for pharmacies filling said prescriptions. The language should align with that of our NP colleagues, who do not have this proposed requirement when writing prescriptions.
