Can CAAs practice in Nevada?
Yes — CAAs are licensed in Nevada.
Nevada licenses CAAs through the Board of Medical Examiners (with a parallel/simultaneous osteopathic pathway under NRS ch. 633), created by AB 270 in 2023. Applications are live on the medical board's site, and employing facilities must confirm your qualifications with the Board before you start.

Notes
AB 270 (ch. 247, Stats. 2023) added AA licensure to both NRS ch. 630 (MD board) and ch. 633 (DO board), with simultaneous-licensure provisions (NRS 630.26835–.26845) so one application can cover both. BME licensing is operational (NCCAA certification required). No statutory supervision ratio found; operational detail sits in NAC 630 regulations. 2025's AB 56 was administrative only (renewal cycle/fees).
