Permits pharmacy students, allopathic and osteopathic medical students, and nursing students to perform tasks under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist, licensed allopathic or osteopathic physician, registered nurse, or advanced registered nurse practitioner, so long as those tasks fall within the scope of practice of both the student and the supervisor and certain other conditions are met. The substitute bill adds requirements that: the student perform the services as part of a volunteer activity; the student be under direct supervision; the student, supervisor, and organization enter into a written agreement; and the school verify the student's competency in writing. It also adds osteopathic physicians and students to the list of providers who may provide and be subject to interdisciplinary supervision. For pharmacy students, it requires that they be registered as pharmacy interns.
