Scope of practice expansion is a
long-standing, continuous and complex concern in the health care field.
AAPM&R is aware of the various concerns specifically plaguing
physiatrists, from non-physicians to non-physiatrists, intent on
expanding their scope of practice beyond their level of education,
training and experience.
AAPM&R is taking action.
Your Academy remains vigilant about ongoing efforts by non-physician and non-PM&R providers to expand their scope of practice beyond their level of education, training and experience, which may threaten the health and safety of patients and impact the livelihood of physiatrists.
