Hi All. Thank you for your thoughtful responses. I have clarified with the practice that the MA will be in charge from a scheduling/administrative standpoint and not clinical supervision. She is very capable as a supervisor and at those kinds of administrative responsibilities. I have never observed her stepping out of her clinical scope of practice in any way. I am totally fine reporting to her in this capacity. At this point I'm pleased to be where I am! The practice is in good hands with her in this role and me in mine! Wishing you a great 2012!
