In addition or as an alternative, as the case may be, to\n\nrevoking, conditioning, suspending, reinstating or refusing to renew\n\nany license, the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners may, after\n\naffording opportunity to be heard:\n\n1. Temporarily order suspension or limitation of license;\n\n2. Issue an order of warning, reprimand or censure with regard\n\nto any act, conduct or practice which, in the judgment of the Board\n\nupon consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, does not\n\nwarrant the initiation of formal action;\n\n3. Order that any person violating any provision of an act or\n\nregulation administered by the Board to cease and desist from future\n\nviolations thereof or to take such affirmative corrective action as\n\nmay be necessary with regard to any act or practice found unlawful\n\nby the Board;\n\n4. Order any person as a condition for continued, reinstated or\n\nrenewed licensure or as a condition for probation or suspension to\n\nsecure medical or such other professional treatment as may be\n\nnecessary to properly discharge licensee functions; or\n\n5. Order any person as a condition of any suspension or\n\nprobation or any disciplinary action, to attend and produce evidence\n\nof successful completion of a specific term of education, residency\n\nor training in enumerated fields and/or institutions as ordered by\n\nthe Board based on the facts of the case. Said education, residency\n\nor training shall be at the expense of the person so ordered.\n\nB. If after considering all the testimony presented, the State\n\nBoard of Osteopathic Examiners finds that the respondent has\n\nviolated any provision of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Medicine Act or\n\nany rule promulgated thereto, the Board may impose on the respondent\n\nas a condition of any suspension, revocation, or probation, or any\n\nother disciplinary action, the payment of costs expended by the\n\nBoard in investigating and prosecuting said cause, such costs to\n\ninclude but not be limited to staff time, salary and travel expense,\n\nwitness fees and attorney fees. In addition, the Board may impose\n\nan administrative fine in an amount not to exceed One Thousand\n\nDollars ($1,000.00) for each count or separate violation.\n\nC. The Secretary of the Board may issue a letter of concern to\n\na licensee, without a hearing, when evidence does not warrant formal\n\nproceedings, but indications exist of possible errant conduct that\n\ncould lead to serious consequences and formal action. The letter of\n\nconcern may contain, at the Secretary's discretion, clarifying\n\ninformation from the licensee. Such letters of concern are\n\nconsidered remedial.","path":["OK Code","Title 59"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os59.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"377de68c22066a7746ad6c76657a24172944ae4c8bc7680d69708ebe7afab4c0","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-637","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-59-59-637.2"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
