Temporary licensure for anesthesiologist assistants in Florida, under direct supervision of an anesthesiologist.

The bill amends Florida Statutes to allow the Department of Health to issue temporary licenses to anesthesiologist assistants. These temporary licenses are valid for up to 180 days, are nonrenewable, and expire upon the applicant's certification examination results. Temporary licensees must practice under the direct supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist who has filed a written protocol with the department. The Board of Medicine and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine must adopt rules to implement this process, including application procedures and supervision requirements.
