We understand that the Boards are continuing to clarify the regulations and their implementation, including the method nurse practitioners may utilize to request a waiver from the physician supervision limitation.

The state-related public research universities of Pennsylvania include: Penn State University, Temple University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
