Subd. 2. Institutions. Any hospital, clinic, prepaid medical plan, or other health care institution or
organization located in this state shall report to the board any action taken by the institution or organization,
any of its administrators, or its medical or other committees to revoke, suspend, restrict, or condition a
physician assistant's privilege to practice or treat patients in the institution or as part of the organization, any
denial of privileges, or any other disciplinary action. The institution or organization shall also report the
resignation of any physician assistants prior to the conclusion of any disciplinary proceeding, or prior to the
commencement of formal charges but after the physician assistant had knowledge that formal charges were
contemplated or in preparation. Each report made under this subdivision must state the nature of the action
taken, state in detail the reasons for the action, and identify the specific patient medical records upon which
the action was based. No report shall be required of a physician assistant voluntarily limiting the practice

the physician assistant has privileges of the voluntary limitation and the reasons for it.
Subd. 3. Physician assistant organizations. A state or local physician assistant organization shall report
to the board any termination, revocation, or suspension of membership or any other disciplinary action taken
against a physician assistant. If the society has received a complaint which might be grounds for discipline
under this chapter against a member physician assistant on which it has not taken any disciplinary action,
the society shall report the complaint and the reason why it has not taken action on it or shall direct the
complainant to the Board of Medical Practice. This subdivision does not apply to a physician assistant

reasonably believes constitutes grounds for disciplinary action under this chapter by a physician assistant,
including any conduct indicating that the person may be incompetent, or may have engaged in unprofessional
conduct or may be medically or physically unable to engage safely in practice as a physician assistant. No
report shall be required if the information was obtained in the course of a provider-patient relationship if
the patient is a physician assistant, and the treating provider successfully counsels the person to limit or
withdraw from practice to the extent required by the impairment.
