Bill overview
This bill establishes the legal framework for radiologist assistants in California. It requires individuals to meet specific qualifications, including passing a national examination and maintaining registration with approved entities. Radiologist assistants must work under the direct supervision of a radiologist and are limited in their ability to interpret images or make diagnoses, focusing instead on assisting with patient history, procedure performance, and communication of observations to the supervising radiologist. The bill aims to ensure patient safety and protect the scope of practice for both radiologists and radiologist assistants.
