Understanding your practice authority and capabilities as a PA providing allergy services.
PAs can perform allergy testing and administer immunotherapy in all 50 states as part of their delegated scope of practice. The level of supervision varies—many states allow "general supervision" where the physician doesn't need to be physically present. Some states have adopted Optimal Team Practice (OTP) legislation allowing greater PA autonomy. Your supervising physician determines which procedures you can perform based on your training, competency, and state regulations.
Allergy clinics, ENT practices, primary care, pediatrics—allergy-trained PAs are valued across multiple settings.
Work with allergists, ENT physicians, or primary care doctors. Many practices offer collaborative environments where PAs manage significant portions of the allergy patient panel.
Join allergy/immunology practices, ENT offices, primary care clinics, or urgent care centers. Your supervising physician relationship is typically provided by the employer.
With 50 million Americans suffering from allergies and a shortage of board-certified allergists, trained PAs are essential to meeting patient demand. Many allergy practices specifically hire PAs to increase patient access and reduce wait times. Your medical model training and procedural efficiency make you a valuable team member in any allergy practice.
PAs excel in team-based environments—the standard model in allergy practices. Collaborate with supervising physicians to manage testing schedules, interpret results, administer immunotherapy, and educate patients. Your training prepares you well for this collaborative approach to comprehensive allergy care.
