Section 1399.507.5 - Physical or Mental Examination of Applicants

In addition to any other requirements for licensure, whenever it reasonably appears that an applicant for a license may be unable to perform as a physician assistant safely because the applicant's ability to perform may be impaired due to mental illness or physical illness affecting competency, the board may require the applicant to be examined by one or more physicians and surgeons or psychologists designated by the board. The applicant shall pay the full cost of such examination. An applicant's failure to comply with the requirement shall render his or her application incomplete. The report of the evaluation shall be made available to the applicant. If after receiving the evaluation report the board determines that the applicant is unable to safely practice, the board may deny the application.
