Associate physicians-restricted licenses.

Wyoming's HB 262 would have created a new restricted license for "associate physicians" who are not in medical residency programs. This license would allow them to provide primary care only in medically underserved areas or to underserved populations, under mandatory collaborative agreements with supervising physicians. The bill required associate physicians to identify themselves as such, meet specific USMLE exam deadlines, and adhere to strict prescribing limitations for controlled substances. The bill died in committee in 2019 and never became law.
