Today the Utah House of Representatives passed by a vote of 58-13 Senate Bill 121 that allows CAAs to be licensed to practice in the state. The bill will now go back to the Senate to concur on an amendment added by the House before heading to the Governor for signature.

Congratulations to the UTAAA for passing CAA licensing legislation through the House Business and Labor Committee. SB 121 will likely be considered by the full House next week thanks to the collaborative work of the Utah Society of Anesthesiologists, UTAAA leadership, and AAAA.

A physician anesthesiologist-led care team model increases access to care, compared to nurse-administered sedation for GI endoscopy procedures, according to a study presented at #ADVANCE22. Read more in @BeckersASC: ow.ly/lqAz50HM8cx #anesthesiologists #anesthesiology

A complicated legal battle between a group of doctors and Renown could lose approximately two thirds of its working anesthesiologists. If its not resolved by January 27, we could be facing a massive shortage in doctors needed for life-saving surgeries. 2news.com/townnews/medic…
