I am considering a move to Puerto Rico and am wondering if US doctors are allowed to practice medicine there. I want to know if there are any specific requirements or restrictions for US doctors to work in Puerto Rico.

    The situation regarding the practice of medicine in Puerto Rico for U.S. trained and NCCPA certified Physician Assistants (PAs) is quite unique.

    Despite the fact that Puerto Ricans hold American Citizenship, PAs who are certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and trained in the United States are not allowed to practice medicine in Puerto Rico.

    This restriction poses a significant challenge for these highly skilled healthcare professionals who are otherwise qualified to practice in various medical settings.

    It is noteworthy that approximately 1,000 other medically trained individuals are currently working on the island as PAs.
