The State Medical Board of Ohio is accepting applications for five member seats on the Advisory Committee on Certified Mental Health Assistant Programs.
The Certified Mental Health Assistant legislation passed last year despite OAPA's opposition. But given the creation of the profession here in Ohio is moving forward, it would be beneficial for PAs to serve on this advisory committee to help advise the board and the department of higher education regarding the development of certified mental health assistant programs until such time that there is a national accrediting body for the profession.
If you are interested in serving as a committee member, please submit an application by email to Austin.Lucous@med.ohio.gov by April 25, 2025.
