The Board of Directors requires the completion of an acceptable pharmacology training of at least 35 hours. The work protocol application must include a standardization request that constitutes a written agreement with the medical officer on the follow-up of the assistant`s prescription practices. The first applications for training licences as an intern, resident or fellow are now online. If you have already had a training licence in Virginia or do not have a Social Security number or a Department of Motor Vehicles number, you must apply to the Board of Medicine for a paper application from medbd@dhp.virginia.gov.

In the event of a COVID-19 emergency and in the interest of continuity of care, licensed professionals in other states and the District of Columbia have the right to provide telemedicine services to Virginia residents with whom they have an established physician-patient relationship. To establish a new relationship with a Virginia resident, a license from the Virginia Board of Medicine is required. An active holder of a state license allows the practice. The current NCCPA certification is required for an active license. An inactivist will not exercise.
In accordance with the executive order, 57 licensed medical assistants in the Commonwealth of Virginia can practice two years of clinical experience in their field of expertise and prescribe them without written or electronic practice agreement until September 8, 2020. First, the board announced that it recognized the need to facilitate the influx of physicians available in West Virginia and was working to expedite the process. The Board of Directors has announced that it is working to streamline the licensing process for COVID 19 suppliers and maximize in-office admissions for medical assistants. However, the Council has not yet published concrete details of the expected changes. Finally, the Chamber found that medical assistants with approved practice contracts and/or active practical notifications may practice in collaboration with physicians on telemedicine, even if the practice agreement and/or practical notification do not explicitly include telemedicine as an authorized method of practice. The board also noted that medical assistants, who also evaluate COVID 19 and/or triaging patients, can make similar first appointments with patients through pure audio measurements, whereas the setting up of a physician/patient should normally be done through a first personal consultation (or video).
