The independent body that nominates candidates for the North Carolina Medical Board to the Governor's Office is seeking physician assistant applicants to fill the unexpired term of Reamer Bushardt, PA-C, who has accepted a position with the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and will be unable to complete his term.

Under North Carolina law, interested parties must apply through the Review Panel of the North Carolina Medical Board. The Review Panel screens applicants, conducts interviews and makes recommendations to the Governor, who then appoints candidates to the Board. The Review Panel will only consider applicants who hold active, unrestricted NC licenses who have been in clinical practice for at least five years. Applicants must reside in North Carolina, be actively practicing clinical medicine at least part time and must have no history of disciplinary action within the past five years. Applications and all supporting documents are due by December 31, 2016 at 4:45 p.m.
