Grassroots and Growth: The Legislative Evolution of CAAs in Florida

In this episode of Lights Out, host Liz Carter welcomes back Timothy Stapleton, Jeff Carroll, CAA, and Brecht Heuchan for an in-depth look at the legislative journey of Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants (CAAs) in Florida. Together, they trace the evolution of the profession—from the landmark passage of the AA Practice Act in 2004 to ongoing efforts that have improved regulation, reduced licensure fees, and streamlined the licensing process. The conversation also dives into today’s political landscape, emphasizing the power of grassroots advocacy, data-driven outcomes, and strong relationships with policymakers. The guests highlight why brand awareness and continued engagement are critical to securing a stronger future for CAAs in Florida and beyond.

This episode is sponsored by Nova Southeastern University and South University.
