License Information

Per Wisconsin State Statutes 440.08 (2), the required renewal date for the Anesthesiologist Assistant credential is 09/30/even years.  Should you receive your initial credential in the months leading up to this date, you are still required to renew your license by the statutorily defined date.

Licensure is required for any person who practices as an anesthesiologist assistant, who holds themselves out as one authorized to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant or who uses the letters “A.A.” or any other designation that tends to represent the person as an anesthesiologist assistant.

Temporary Licensure

Temporary licenses are available to applicants who are eligible to take, but have not passed the national exam. The Board may grant a temporary license once the application for licensure Form #2976, request for temporary license Form #2979 and fees are received by the Department.

A temporary license expires on the date on which the board grants or denies an applicant permanent licensure or on the date of the next regularly scheduled examination required under Wis. Stat. § 448.05 (6) if the applicant is required to take, but has failed to apply for, the examination.

Pre-Credential Education Information

Wisconsin Act 210 (effective June 1, 2012)

This Act extends the license of a service member if the license expires while they are on active duty from 90 days to 180 days from the date of discharge. The same applies to a spouse of a service member if the spouse does not practice under their license while the service member is on active duty and does not practice because the service member is on active duty.

This Act repeals a provision of prior law that required a service member to meet all of the requirements for license extension or renewal, except for continuing education requirements, in order to have the license extended.

Service members and spouses may request extensions of licenses beyond 180 days from discharge and may request a waiver or extension of time to complete continuing education requirements due to hardship.  Please view Active Duty/Discharge Renewal Extension Form #R210.
