What are your privileges anf prescriptive authority?

I currently do not have hospital privileges for myself or the providers in the Rural Health Clinic. I do have hospital privileges at another clinic in which I also practice.

Currently PAs have the authority within the State of Michigan to practice through a delegatory clause in the Medical Practice Act as well as the Public Health Code that defines Physician Assistants and which includes prescriptive authority of Schedules 3-5 and all prescriptive medications as delegated by the Physician.
