     6  article, may include the diagnosis of illness  and  physical  conditions
     7  and  the  performance  of  therapeutic  and corrective measures within a
     8  specialty area of practice, in collaboration with a  licensed  physician
     9  or  nurse  practitioner  practicing  pursuant  to  paragraph (b) of this
    10  subdivision,  qualified  to  collaborate  in  the  specialty   involved,
