PAs in Iowa are licensed by the Iowa Board of Physician Associates. Iowa has joined the PA Licensure Compact, which will let PAs licensed in another member state practice here with a compact privilege; privileges are expected to open in early 2027. To prescribe controlled substances in Iowa, a PA also needs a Controlled Substances Act (CSA) Registration from the Iowa Board of Pharmacy (Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing), on top of DEA registration.
