Medical Occupations - As introduced, establishes the scope of practice for anesthesiologist assistants, subject to regulatory oversight by the board of medical examiners as part of such practice. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 63 and Title 68.

SB 461 establishes licensing and regulatory requirements for anesthesiologist assistants in Tennessee. It requires these professionals to obtain a license from the Board of Medical Examiners, complete specific education and certification, and work exclusively under the supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist who delegates specific duties. The bill defines key terms like "assists" and "supervision," sets continuing education rules, and makes unauthorized practice a Class B misdemeanor punishable by fines or jail time. This directly affects anesthesiologist assistants seeking to practice in Tennessee and the supervising physicians who must oversee their work.
