PAs in Delaware must enter into a written collaborative agreement with at least one collaborating physician. They can perform services customary to the practice of the collaborating physician. In general, PAs in Delaware have advanced practice authority. Advanced authority means that PAs can practice to the full extent of their medical education, but they still must comply with administrative requirements.
In Delaware, physician assistants (PAs) must complete 100 Continuing Education (CE) hours every two years to renew their licenses. This requirement ensures PAs stay updated with the latest medical knowledge and clinical practices, enhancing patient care. The CE hours can be obtained through various educational activities such as conferences, seminars, workshops, and online courses. The CE requirement is crucial to ensuring PAs provide high-quality care to their patients.
