Support for regulatory change
 

I support removing this practice regulation.  As PAs, we collaborate and utilize colleagues to offer our patients optimal care and having such wording creates unneeded hardship for patients.  As a surgical PA, I am often much more readily available to manage postoperative concerns immediately and having such wording limits access to timely care.
