Osteopathic physician’s assistant: Supervision by physician.
1. An osteopathic physician’s assistant may, under his certificate, be supervised by a physician licensed to practice medicine in this state in place of his employing osteopathic physician if:

(b) The osteopathic physician’s assistant remains in the employ of his employing osteopathic physician;
(c) The employing osteopathic physician and the physician agree to the arrangement; and
(d) The Board of Osteopathic Medicine and the Board of Medical Examiners approve it.
