(b) License Application
Processing, Review and Interviews. When an applicant's core application
documents have been received by the board and are deemed to be satisfactory,
the executive director or his designee will review the application and
supporting materials to determine whether a licensure interview of the
applicant will be required pursuant to this rule. If the executive director or
his designee determines that the applicant will not, in all likelihood, be
required to have a licensure interview pursuant to this chapter, the applicant
has been continually licensed in good standing (not including training
licenses) for the preceding three (3) years in one or more states and/or the
District of Columbia, and the applicant has a clean application, the executive
director may, acting on behalf of the advisory council and the board, issue a
temporary license to the applicant pursuant and subject to these rules,
including the requirement for a complete application set forth therein. The
temporary license shall be valid until 8:00 a.m. of the first day of the next
regularly-scheduled board meeting.
(c) If an applicant is not issued a temporary
license pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, when the application is
deemed complete pursuant to subsection
6(b) of this chapter, the
physician assistant's application for licensure shall be sent to the advisory
council for review. Upon the positive recommendation of a majority of the
members of the advisory council, the physician assistant's application will be
forwarded to the board's Application Review Committee for consideration of
issuance of a temporary license to be valid until 8:00 a.m. of the first day of
the next regularly-scheduled board meeting.
(d) A temporary license may be issued under
subsection (b) of this section, and subsection
7(c) of this chapter, to a
physician assistant who meets all requirements for licensure except completion
of the NCCPA certification examination, pursuant to subsection
7(c) of this chapter and
W.S.
33-26-504(c) and
505.
(e) A physician assistant who
receives a temporary license under this section remains subject to the
requirement for a personal interview with the advisory council and/or the board
in this chapter.
(f) Temporary
licenses issued less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the next
regularly-scheduled board meeting will be valid until the later of a vote of
board members on the application pursuant to these rules, or 8:00 a.m. on first
day of the second regularly-scheduled board meeting after issuance.
(g) Upon written request received from the
holder of a temporary license not less than seven (7) days before expiration of
the temporary license, the executive director may extend a temporary license
for an additional term no longer than the later of a vote of board members on
the application pursuant to these rules, or the date of the next
regularly-scheduled board meeting after extension of the temporary license. The
holder of a temporary license may request no more than one (1) extension of the
temporary license under this subsection.
(h) If, upon review of the application of a
person who is granted a temporary license under subsection (b) or (c) of this
section, one or more advisory council or board members request that the holder
of the temporary license appear for a licensure interview, the executive
director may extend the temporary license held by that person until 8:00 a.m.
on the first day of the second regularly-scheduled board meeting after issuance
of the temporary license.
(i) If
the advisory council does not meet in conjunction with a regularly-scheduled
board meeting, the executive director may, in his discretion, extend temporary
licenses due to expire at that board meeting until the next regularly-scheduled
board meeting.
(j) All applicants
who are granted a temporary license under subsection (b) of this section are
required to submit all documentation and materials necessary to ensure that
their license application is complete in accordance with this chapter. Failure
to have a complete license application within 180 days of issuance of a
temporary license may result in denial by the board of the application for
licensure pursuant to W.S. 33-26- 202(b)(i).
(k) If the supervision by a supervising
physician or supervising physician assistant of a physician assistant
practicing under a temporary license issued pursuant to subsection
7(c) of these rules is
terminated for any reason, and the physician assistant does not have another
board-approved supervising physician or supervising physician assistant, the
physician assistant's temporary license will automatically convert to
"inactive," and the physician assistant may not resume practicing until a new
supervising physician or supervising physician assistant is approved by the
board.
