So You Want to Be an NPC Whisperer? A Guide to Physician Supervision in Georgia (with a sprinkle of sass)
Ah, the glorious state of Georgia, where peaches are sweet and the rules for supervising non-physician clinicians (NPCs) can be a tad... murky. But fear not, fellow physician extraordinaire (or soon-to-be one), for I am here to shed some light on this bureaucratic labyrinth – with a healthy dose of humor, of course.

The Burning Question: How Many NPCs Can I Wrangle?
Here's the juicy bit: In Georgia, a physician can enter into a supervisory agreement with up to eight NPCs, but plot twist – you can only actively supervise four at any given time. Think of it like Pokemon Go, gotta catch 'em all, but supervising-wise? There's a limit, my friend.
There's a little asterisk to this whole equation, though. If you're a specialty physician and your NPC posse is venturing into your area of expertise, you might be able to snag an exemption and supervise up to eight. But that exemption comes with paperwork, hoops to jump through, and enough legalese to make your head spin.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Important Note: Don't even think about supervising an NPC whose specialty is, well, not your specialty. It's a recipe for regulatory disaster (and potentially bad patient care).
Signs You're Supervising Too Many NPCs:
- You start referring to your patients as "citizens" and your clinic as a "guild."
- You find yourself muttering about "resting physician face" in the break room.
- You lose track of which NPC is Gary and which one is Greg. (Although, to be fair, that could just be a Greg problem.)
Here's the bottom line: Quality care is key. Don't get so caught up in numbers that you neglect your supervisory duties.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
