Would love to see TN move forward and grant full practice authority ( FPA). FPA is not just an avenue to allow practitioners to open a clinic. We have to remember not everyone wants to become a business owner, which is understandable. Ownership brings about other responsibilities. Although FPA will help solo practices eliminate the cost for a collaborating provider, it is designed for more than that one component.
