Request from Stephanie Saladino, whether the Board has interpreted or has issued any guidance

regarding the definition of an “FDA-approved treatment” under the Georgia Right to Try Act (Ga. Code

31-52-4). Specifically, we want to understand whether the term “FDA-approved treatment” includes

surgical procedures as well as therapeutics. The Board referred Ms. Saladino to Department of

Community Health for a response, since this is not in the Board’s laws or rules.

Request from Christy Hembree searching for information on Radiology Practitioner Assistants (RPAs).

We need information regarding GA law in the hospital setting (IP/OP/ER). The Board referred the

request to the Rules Committee.

Request from the Wisconsin Board of Medicine, which is currently undertaking a review of licensees

(physicians, physician assistants, etc.) who are practicing what is being referred to as “Functional

Medicine” (including but not limited to Platelet Rich Plasma injections, and Bio-Identical Hormone

Replacement therapy). The Board is interested in the position, if any, of other State Medical Boards,

and relevant agencies such as FSMB with regard to this type of practice and whether it is within the

scope of acceptable practice of medicine and surgery and within the standard of care of such practice.

The Board has not had any issues with this practice.

RULES HEARING Motion Dr. Harbin, seconded Dr. Marshall and motion carried to adopt the following rules:

Rule 360-2-.05 Renewal Applications

Rule 360-5-.02 “Qualifications for Physician Assistant License”

Rule 360-32-.02 “Requirements for Nurse Protocol Agreements Pursuant to Code Section 43-34-25.

REVIEW HEARING Richard Blake, PA, requested a review hearing. Max Changus, Assistant Attorney General, appeared on

behalf of the Board. Mr. Blake was represented by Attorney Matt Bass. The Board members asked

questions, then Mr. Blake and his attorney responded. The Board voted to go into Executive Session to

deliberate. Dr. Simmons declared the meeting in Open Session. Dr. Retterbush made a motion,

seconded by Dr. Harbin, to uphold the Initial Decision of the Administrative Law Judge. Dr. Reisman

and Dr. DeLoach both abstained.

CLOSED SESSION Dr. DeLoach motioned seconded by Dr. Dalton to go into closed session to discuss applications,
