This memo serves as notice that the Washington medical commission (commission) is withdrawing the CR-101 for WAC 246-919-XXX allopathic physicians and 246-918-XXX allopathic physician assistants. The commission was considering creating new rule sections to establish a clinical assistance program to resolve practice deficiencies that may not rise to the level of a license sanction or revocation through a plan of education, training, and/or supervision. The CR-101 was filed February 22, 2018, and published in WSR 18-06-007.

Since the CR-101 was filed in 2018, the commission has held 11 workshops for this rule making. The draft language has been discussed and revised at each workshop. The draft has evolved in such a way that it is now outside of the scope of the CR-101. As such, at their November 19, 2021, business meeting, the commission determined that the CR-101 should be rescinded and no further action [be] taken at this time.

Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Amelia Boyd, program manager, at 360-918-6336.
