In 2009 this issue was brought before the Court. The fact that some iv practice was being undertaken in homes during dialysis by the patient and family members with no medical training and no direct supervision and trained medical assistants in a Rheumatologist practice under direct supervision. Medical assistants are trained individuals just as any other individual that go to school and develop the skills needed to perform the task. Medical assistants are only allow to perform under the supervision of a doctor. If a medical assistant is trained and are under supervision of the doctor, what's the problem? As a result of my research, I have found that Florida has now started to move forward with putting something together for certified medical assistants that has gone to school and have the proper documentation. I am not sure just when the already CMA will be allowed to certify for the iv therapy , but as of now I don't Fla, has given the go ahead!
