I was reading the other thread about having multiple offices and was curious as to what about having a Physician Assistant run one of the offices alone on certain days and having the DPM check in on the other days and see some patients?
which leads me to the reason i started this thread--> I've seen quite a few contradicting things regarding whether DPMs can even hire PA's..I looked through a bunch of the "law stuff" and didn't clearly understand whether DPMs can hire PA's or not, specifically looking for the NJ NY area.
Even though i'm starting at a DO school this fall, i'm have been very interested in pod for a little less than a year now, and I talked my brother into it..he's in the application process now, so I'm trying to figure out as much as I can to see how we can possibly have a future business together and possibly hire some PA's for him and myself. Would we be able to? If I am not in the business with him for any reason, would he be able to hire a PA on his own?
Do these businesses happen often between MD/DO and DPMs? If so, what areas of medicine could a DPM possibly partner with besides Ortho?
thanks guys!
