As an employer, where do I find a list of qualified service agents (
e.g. urine specimen collectors, BATs, STTs, MROs, SAPs, or laboratories)?
«Direct supervision» is usually defined as the delegating / supervising / overseeing physician (s) being on the premises and reasonably available (although not necessarily in the same room) when medical assistants are undertaking clinical duties other than the most basic tasks, such as taking vital signs and collecting certain
specimens (
e.g.,
urine and sputum).
