Supervision Agreement for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists in Wyoming
No. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists practice independently here. Wyoming does not require one.
CRNAs are one of Wyoming's four APRN roles under the Consensus Model — licensed independent practitioners with no physician supervision or agreement required, unlike states (e.g. UT) that carve CRNAs out of prescriptive authority or independence.

About Wyoming's rules
Wyoming is a full-independence state for ALL FOUR APRN roles (NP, CRNA, CNM, CNS) under the APRN Consensus Model — no supervision/collaboration agreement required. PAs are separate: permanent physician supervision under W.S. 33-26, capped at 3 PAs per physician absent Board-approved good cause (W.S. 33-26-504) — one of the few explicit numeric PA ratio caps on file.
