Chapter 540-X-7 - ASSISTANTS TO PHYSICIANS
Section 540-X-7-.54 - Interim Approval - Anesthesiologist Assistant (A.A.)

(1) An anesthesiologist assistant may obtain interim approval of a supervised practice with an interim supervising anesthesiologist after confirmed receipt by the Board of Medical Examiners of a registration application and may continue in interim practice until such time as the pending application for registration is approved or denied, provided the interim supervising anesthesiologist meets the qualifications established in these rules. An anesthesiologist assistant who has been granted a temporary license does not qualify for interim approval.

(2) An applicant for approval to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant may obtain interim approval when either the supervising anesthesiologist or the anesthesiologist assistant is under investigation by a state or federal authority. The interim approval shall remain in force until the application for registration has been approved, denied, or withdrawn. However, the Board of Medical Examiners may decline to approve the application until the investigation has been concluded. The Board of Medical Examiners may withdraw interim approval in accordance with this Chapter.
