Wyoming Physician Assistant CME

• Wyoming Physician Assistant Standard Renewal Requirements: Physician assistants in Wyoming must renew their license annually by December 31 and complete 60 hours of CME every 3 years. PAs authorized to prescribe controlled substances must complete additional CME specifically on responsible prescribing or substance abuse treatment, and DEA-registered PAs have an 8-hour one-time opioid use disorder CME requirement. CME credits must come from ACCME-accredited providers awarding AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, and maintenance of NCCPA certification satisfies the CME requirement as an alternative. Renewal applications can be submitted online or by paper with appropriate fees Wyoming Board of Medicine PA Renewal
