Narcotics conviction.
A. If it is the decision of the State Board of Medical
Licensure and Supervision, after considering all the testimony
presented, that the defendant is guilty as charged, the Board shall
revoke the license of the defendant, and the defendant's rights to
practice medicine and surgery. The Board, however, may suspend a
license, during which suspension the holder of such suspended
license shall not be entitled to practice medicine and surgery
thereunder. If during suspension, the defendant practiced medicine
or surgery or has been guilty of any act of unprofessional conduct,
as defined by the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure
and Supervision Act, the Board may revoke the license of such
licensee or place the licensee upon probation for any period of time
not less than one (1) year, nor more than five (5) years, or on
second offense place the licensee on probation for an indefinite
period of time, during which time the licensee's conduct will be
kept under observation. The Board, furthermore, may impose on the
defendant, as a condition of any suspension or probation, a
requirement that the defendant attend and produce evidence of
successful completion of a specific term of education, residency, or
training in enumerated fields and/or institutions as ordered by the
Board based on the facts of the case. The education, residency, or
training shall be at the expense of the defendant. The Board may
also impose other disciplinary actions as provided for in Section
509.1 of this title. At the end of any term of suspension imposed
by the Board, the applicant for reinstatement shall show to the
Board successful completion of all conditions and requirements
imposed by the Board and demonstrate eligibility for reinstatement.
B. Immediately upon learning that a licensee has been convicted
of a felonious violation of a state or federal narcotics law, the
Executive Director of the Board shall summarily suspend the license
and assign a hearing date for the matter to be presented to the
Board. Immediately upon learning that a licensee is in violation of
a Board-ordered probation, the Executive Director of the Board may
summarily suspend the license based on imminent harm to the public
and assign a hearing date for the matter to be presented at the next
scheduled Board meeting.
