Updates to CME Requirements

If you are a Physician Assistant (PA), changes are coming on October 27, 2022 to your CME requirements. PAs and Retired Active PA licensees should begin to prepare for the termination of Proclamation 20-32.

On October 27, 2022:


* Waivers to WAC 246-918-180 [ [link removed] ] will end. PAs must meet continuing education requirements.
* PAs must meet all requirements for licensure in WAC 246-918-080 [ [link removed] ].
* PAs must have and maintain practice agreements per WAC 246-918-055 [ [link removed] ].
* In order to return to active status when a license has expired and to renew PAs must meet the continuing medical education requirements under WAC 246-918-180 [ [link removed] ].

Per WAC 246-918-175 [ [link removed] ] Retired Active PAs:


* Are no longer considered "covered volunteer emergency worker? and must have a practice agreement on file with their employer.
* Cannot receive compensation for health care services.
* May only practice in emergent circumstances calling for immediate action or in intermittent circumstances on a part-time or full-time nonpermanent basis.

WMC will be instating a grace period for MDs and PAs to complete their CME requirements. Learn more on our webpage for CME reinstatement [ [link removed] ].
