What was OTP originally known as?

• A. Full Practice Authority & Responsibility (FPAR)
• B. Optimal Team Practice
• C. Modern PA Practice Act
• D. Autonomy of Practice

Answer: (A)

Optimal Team Practice is the current framework that emphasizes teamwork and interprofessional collaboration in PA practice. Historically, this initiative was called Full Practice Authority & Responsibility, capturing the push for PAs to have full authority to practice to the top of their training while assuming responsibility for patient care within the supervising or collaborative framework required by state law. Over time, the terminology shifted to highlight the team-based nature of modern practice, hence Optimal Team Practice. The other options don’t reflect the historical naming of the initiative.
