Section XLV-425 - Necessity for Registration

A. As used in this Section, postgraduate year one (PGY-1) or internship means the first year of postgraduate training following graduation from a medical school or college (whether allopathic or osteopathic) approved by the board. For purposes of this Section PGY-1 includes only the first year of any such training following graduation from a medical school or college and does not include training which may be designated PGY-1 level subsequent to prior training at such level in any specialty, field, or program.

B. No person who does not possess a license or permit issued under this Chapter shall enroll or participate in a PGY-1 medical educational program, or internship, unless he is duly registered with the board pursuant to this Subchapter.

C. Notwithstanding registration under this Subchapter, no person who does not possess a license or permit issued under this Chapter shall enroll or participate in a first year postgraduate medical educational program, an internship, or any other program howsoever designated or whenever taken, which permits or requires such persons to exercise independent medical judgment, assume independent responsibility for patient care, or otherwise to engage in the practice of medicine.

D. Upon a finding that a person or registrant has violated the proscriptions of this Section, the board may:

1. suspend or revoke such person's registration under this Subchapter or impose probationary conditions thereon;

2. consider and declare such person or registrant ineligible for a medical license or permit under this Chapter; and/or

3. cause the institution of judicial proceedings against such person for injunctive relief, costs, and attorneys fees, pursuant to R.S. 37:1286.
