Rules Workshops
New Profession: Anesthesiologist Assistants

The WMC filed a CR-101, Preproposal Statement of Inquiry, to establish licensing regulations for anesthesiologist assistants in response to Senate Bill (SB) 5184 (Chapter 362, Laws of 2024) codified in chapter 18.71D RCW. The CR-101 was filed on August 28, 2024, as WSR #24-18-057. The WMC is considering creating a new chapter of rule under Title 246 WAC to establish licensing regulations for anesthesiologist assistants.

In response to the filing, the WMC has scheduled the following rules workshops:
