House Bill No. 2051, known as the Supervised Physicians Act, establishes a framework for the practice of supervised physicians in Oklahoma. The bill defines key terms, including "supervised physician" and "supervised physician collaborative practice arrangement," and outlines the requirements for temporary licensure, which is valid for two years post-graduation from medical school. It mandates that supervised physicians must enter into a collaborative practice arrangement with a licensed supervising physician, who is responsible for overseeing their activities. The bill also stipulates that these arrangements must include specific provisions, such as mutual protocols, disclosure statements for patients, and requirements for direct supervision.

Additionally, the bill directs the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision to create rules governing the collaborative practice arrangements, including the types of treatments covered and educational programs for supervised physicians. It imposes limits on the number of supervised physicians a supervising physician can oversee simultaneously and requires both parties to wear identification badges indicating their licensure status. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the training and oversight of new medical professionals while ensuring patient safety and compliance with medical standards.
