Okla. Admin. Code § 435:10-4-1

Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

Section 435:10-4-1 - General licensure provisions

(a) No person shall perform any act prohibited by the Act for any fee or other compensation, or hold himself or herself out as a physician and surgeon under the Act, unless first licensed by the Board to do so. The Board directs staff to undertake affirmative action to seek the prosecution of any person suspected by the staff to be in criminal violation of any provision of the Act.

(b) No person shall be licensed by the Board unless and until that person first fully complies with all licensure provisions of the Act and this Subchapter and has satisfied the Board of the ability of that person to practice medicine and surgery with reasonable skill and safety.

(c) The Board shall not engage in any application process with any agent or representative of any applicant except as is specifically approved by the Board at a meeting of the Board and majority vote. The Board shall entertain a request for authority for an agent or representative to represent an applicant only upon written motion by the applicant and after a personal interview with the applicant by the Secretary of the Board or the Board en banc. It is the purpose of the Board in this regard to prevent any subterfuge in the application process and so requires any person who wishes to employ an agent or representative to meet personally with the Board or Secretary.

(d) A license issued by the Board shall be signed by the Secretary and attested by the seal of the Board.
