The Medical Board receives numerous inquiries concerning the use of medical assistants in a physician's office. By law, a medical assistant may not be employed for inpatient care in a licensed general acute care hospital.
Medical assistants are unlicensed, and may only perform basic administrative, clerical and technical supportive services as permitted by law. An unlicensed person may not diagnose or treat or perform any task that is invasive or requires assessment. The responsibility for the appropriate use of unlicensed persons in health care delivery rests with the physician. The classification of medical assistant is defined under the provisions of the Medical Practice Act Business and Professions Code sections as a person who may be unlicensed who performs basic administrative, clerical, and technical supportive services under the supervision of a licensed physician, podiatrist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nurse midwife.
Under the law, "technical supportive services" are simple, routine medical tasks and procedures that may be safely performed by a medical assistant who has limited training and who functions under the supervision of a licensed physician, podiatrist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nurse midwife.
Prior to performing technical supportive services, a medical assistant shall receive training by either 1 a licensed physician and surgeon, podiatrist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nurse midwife or 2 an instructor in an approved school program to assure the medical assistant's competence in performing a service at the appropriate standard of care.
