Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Wyoming
Wyoming puts the ownership rule into language the articles of incorporation must actually contain. a professional practice corporation incorporated after the act must carry this sentence in its articles, immediately after the provision on authorized shares: “All shareholders of the corporation are, and will continually be, licensed in the profession for which the corporation is formed, and no professional service will be offered by the corporation except by or under the supervision of licensed stockholders or licensed employees.” Two things follow that a med spa should read carefully — the shareholder requirement is CONTINUING (“and will continually be”), not merely a condition at formation; and services may be offered by or under the supervision of licensed stockholders or licensed employees. The corporate name must end with “A Professional Corporation” or the initials “P.C.”. These claims survey the professional corporation provisions of Title 17 and do not report on restrictions elsewhere in Wyoming law.
The articles of incorporation of a professional practice corporation incorporated after the date of this act shall contain the following language: "All shareholders of the corporation are, and will continually be, licensed in the profession for which the corporation is formed, and no professional service will be offered by the corporation except by or under the supervision of licensed stockholders or licensed employees." This language shall be inserted in the articles immediately after the provisions pertaining to the aggregate number of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue.

MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
