If I obtain my Physician's Assistant license, am I eligible for a controlled substance license in Michigan?

No, an individual who is licensed as a physician's assistant in Michigan is not eligible for a controlled substance license.

Licensed physician's assistants are prohibited from independently prescribing controlled substances in Michigan. Under the delegation of a supervising licensed physician, a licensed physician's assistant may prescribe controlled substances in Schedules 3-5. The prescription of Schedule 2 controlled substances can be delegated if the physician and the physician's assistant are both practicing within a hospital, surgical outpatient facility, or hospice.
