Kansas Collaborating Physician Jobs – Flexible & High-Paying Opportunities
Kansas requires every PA to practice under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician — with no independence pathway. Across Wichita, the Kansas City metro, Topeka, and the state’s vast rural healthcare corridor, the demand for Kansas PA supervising physicians is consistent and ongoing.
Kansas PAs Always Require a Supervising Physician — Creating Consistent, Permanent Demand
Kansas is a full practice authority state for NPs since July 2022, but it remains a permanent physician supervision state for PAs under KSA 65-28a. Every PA in Kansas — regardless of experience level — must practice under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician. There is no experience threshold, no transition pathway, and no board certification that allows a Kansas PA to practice independently.
Before any PA can begin practice in Kansas, both the PA and the supervising physician must sign and file an Active Practice Request Form with the Kansas Board of Healing Arts (KBHA). The physician’s scope of practice determines the PA’s scope — and the physician retains full professional responsibility for the PA’s services.
Kansas enforces its CPOM rules actively, and many clinics — particularly medspas, weight loss centers, and IV hydration practices — require physician involvement not just for PA supervision but for overall medical oversight of services. Kansas physicians are in demand across both roles.
Kansas State Requirements
All Kansas PAs must practice under the direction and supervision of a supervising physician. An Active Practice Request Form signed by the PA, supervising physician, and each substitute supervising physician must be filed with KBHA before practice begins. KSA 65-28a03; KSA 65-28a08
The supervising physician is not required to be on-site but must be available in person or by electronic communication at all times when the PA is caring for patients. KSA 65-28a02; KAR 100-28a-9
For PAs at different practice locations from the physician, up to 3 PAs may be supervised without KBHA approval. Additional PAs (up to 5) require prior Board approval. PAs at the same location: physician sets the number. KAR 100-28a-17
The PA’s scope of practice is set by the supervising physician and must fall within the physician’s own scope and competence. No cosignature required after the first 30 days of the supervision relationship. KAR 100-28a-10; KAR 100-28a-13
The supervising physician must notify KBHA when the supervision relationship ends. PAs may prescribe Schedule II–V controlled substances if authorized in the Active Practice Request Form within the physician’s normal practice. KSA 65-28a09; KSA 65-28a08
What a Supervising Physician Does in Kansas
Your role is clearly defined by Kansas statute and KBHA regulations. Physical presence is not required — availability by electronic communication is sufficient for all but emergency situations.
Sign & File the Active Practice Request Form
Sign the Active Practice Request Form alongside the PA and any substitute supervising physicians and file it with KBHA before the PA begins practice. This form is Kansas’s unique pre-practice filing requirement.
Define Scope of Practice
Establish the PA’s authorized scope of practice — which must fall within your own scope and competence. The supervising physician is responsible for all medical services the PA provides under supervision.
Electronic Availability
Be available in person or by electronic communication at all times when the PA is caring for patients. Kansas explicitly states that physical presence during PA services is not required under “direction and supervision.”
Competency Assessment & Feedback
During the first 30 days of the supervision relationship, conduct initial competency review. After 30 days, you and the PA develop your own written method for evaluating competence under KAR 100-28a-10 — giving you meaningful flexibility.
Notify KBHA on Termination
File the required notice with KBHA when the supervision relationship ends, per KSA 65-28a09. We coordinate this filing so you remain compliant through the end of every supervision arrangement.
Earn Ongoing Income
Receive income for each PA you supervise. Because Kansas has no independence pathway for PAs, every PA in the state needs a supervising physician for as long as they practice — creating permanent, ongoing income.

This Opportunity Is Ideal For
Physicians with an active Kansas medical license in good standing with KBHA

Kansas Collaborating Physician Jobs — Remote, Part Time, and PA Supervision Roles Across Wichita, Kansas City, and the Sunflower State
Kansas granted NPs full practice authority in 2022 — which means the physician supervision opportunity here is entirely in the PA market. Every Kansas PA must practice under a supervising physician with no experience-based independence pathway, creating consistent demand for collaborating physician jobs, part time physician jobs, and remote physician jobs across Wichita, Kansas City, Topeka, Overland Park, and Kansas’s extensive rural healthcare communities. With electronic availability satisfying the supervision standard and no on-site requirement in state law, Kansas PA supervision is among the most accessible and flexible physician side job structures in the Midwest.
Remote Physician Jobs — Electronic Availability Fully Satisfies Kansas Supervision
Kansas law explicitly states that direction and supervision does not require the physical presence of the supervising physician. Availability by electronic communication at all times during the PA’s patient care hours fully satisfies Kansas’s supervision standard under KSA 65-28a. This makes Kansas PA supervision among the most genuinely remote physician jobs available in the Midwest — no scheduled on-site visits, no proximity requirement, and no KBHA mandate for in-person presence at any point in the arrangement.
Part Time Physician Jobs — Scale Up to 5 PA Arrangements
Kansas allows a physician to supervise up to 3 PAs at locations different from the physician’s primary site without prior KBHA approval — and up to 5 at different locations with KBHA approval under KAR 100-28a-17. This tiered structure lets physicians start with one or two part time physician jobs in Kansas and scale to a larger portfolio over time. Combined with the permanent PA supervision requirement and no independence pathway, Kansas part time physician jobs offer durable, long-term supplemental income at every level of the cap.
Physician Consulting Jobs — Wichita and Kansas City Medspa Corridor
Wichita’s growing East Douglas and Delano medspa corridor and the Kansas City–Overland Park healthcare market generate consistent demand for physician consulting jobs beyond standard PA supervision. PA-operated weight loss clinics, aesthetic practices, and IV hydration studios across Kansas seek physician consulting jobs for protocol development, payer credentialing support, and quality assurance oversight — often structured as monthly retainer engagements alongside an Active Practice Request Form supervision arrangement.
A Genuine Physician Side Job — Defined Obligations, Manageable Time
Kansas PA supervision arrangements are physician side jobs by structure — not second clinical positions. The Active Practice Request Form defines your supervision scope, the PA’s authorized practice area, and your substitute physician arrangement. Beyond being electronically available during the PA’s patient care hours, the day-to-day obligations are limited to the scope of the agreement. Patient scheduling, clinical operations, and daily decisions belong to the PA. Most Kansas physicians holding collaborating physician jobs report managing their commitments in a few hours per month per agreement — consistent, predictable income without disrupting their primary practice.
CollaboratingPhysician.com maintains an active pipeline of collaborating physician jobs across Kansas and matches physicians with PA practices within 24 to 48 hours. Whether you are looking for remote physician jobs in Wichita, part time physician jobs across the Kansas City corridor, or remote physician advisor jobs with Kansas-based telehealth platforms, we verify specialty alignment, prepare Active Practice Request Forms for KBHA filing, coordinate substitute physician identification, and manage every arrangement throughout — keeping you well within Kansas’s tiered location caps at every stage.
