(a) Is not less than 21 years of age;
(b) Has graduated from a physician assistant training program accredited by the CAAHEP or its predecessor or successor organization;
(c) Has satisfactorily completed a certification examination administered by the NCCPA or other national certifying agency established for such purposes which has been reviewed and approved by the board and is currently certified;
(d) Physician assistants licensed by the board prior to July 1, 1995 are not required to be currently certified by the NCCPA and are not required to provide proof of current NCCPA certification with any of the applications submitted to the board described in Section 8 below.
(e) The board may recognize specialty classifications of training of physician assistants. These classifications shall reflect the training and experience of the physician assistant.
(f) The board may grant an emeritus license to practice as a physician assistant under the supervision of a physician holding an active medical license in this state, which may be used for the provision of uncompensated physician assistant services. Such license may be issued to an applicant who provides an application by a supervising physician, proof that the applicant is currently certified by the NCCPA and has maintained a physician assistant license in good standing in another jurisdiction of the United States or Canada for a period of not less than ten (10) years prior to applying for the emeritus physician assistant license and signs a notarized statement he/she will not accept any form of remuneration for physician assistant services rendered while in the possession of an emeritus license . As part of the application process, an applicant for an emeritus physician assistant license who does not hold a current Wyoming physician assistant license shall complete to the satisfaction of a majority of the board members a personal interview consisting of inquiry and oral response to medical knowledge, personal and professional history and intentions for practicing as a physician assistant in this state. Such interview may be conducted by one (1) or more advisory council members and, if deemed appropriate by a majority of the advisory council, may be conducted by telephonic means.
(g) The board may issue a volunteer/camp physician assistant license to a physician assistant who is in good standing in at least one (1) jurisdiction other than the state of Wyoming for the purpose of assisting in the practice of medicine as a volunteer, without compensation. An applicant for a volunteer/camp physician assistant license must complete and submit a form and documentation prescribed by the board, meet the requirements of W.S. 33-26-504, agree to comply with the Act and these rules, agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of the board, provide proof of licensure in good standing in at least one (1) jurisdiction other than the state of Wyoming, and pay the fee set by the board. A licensure interview is not required for issuance of a volunteer/camp physician assistant license. A volunteer/camp physician assistant license shall be valid for not more than twenty-one (21) consecutive days in any calendar year, and may not be renewed.
(h) A person who has pled guilty or nolo contendere to, or has been convicted of, a felony or any crime that is a felony under Wyoming law in any state or federal court or any court of similar jurisdiction in another country may apply for licensure; however, the board may deny licensure based solely upon such plea or conviction.
