Collaborative Practice Agreement for Pharmacists in Wyoming
Yes, a written physician agreement is required. Wyoming calls it a Collaborative Practice Agreement.
Represents Wyoming's Collaborative Pharmaceutical Care agreement tier (W.S. § 33-24), not ordinary pharmacist licensure — base dispensing and standalone statutory authorities (hormonal contraceptives under § 33-24-159, immunizations under § 33-24-157) need no physician-specific CPA and are out of scope here. No board-certification requirement or numeric per-prescriber cap was found for the general collaborative-care CPA.

Prescriptive authority
Covered by the practice agreement · no controlled-substance authority
No affirmative statutory grant of controlled-substance prescribing authority under a general Wyoming CPA was located — coded as not allowed pending confirmation; the hormonal-contraceptive and immunization authorities are separate, narrower statutory grants, not general controlled-substance authority.
Written agreement
Required
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — No pharmacist-ownership requirement was independently confirmed against specific Wyoming statute in this research pass — treat as an open item distinct from the CPA-based scope-of-practice question above.

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.
