Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 360-40-.06 - Disciplinary Actions
1.
Any disciplinary action taken by any member board against a physician licensed
through the Compact shall be deemed unprofessional conduct which may be subject
to discipline by other member boards, in addition to any violation of the
Medical Practice Act or regulations in that state.
2. If a license granted to a physician by the
member board in the state of principal licenses revoked, surrendered or
relinquished in lieu of discipline, or suspended, then all licenses issued to
the physician by member boards shall automatically be placed, without further
action necessary by any member board, on the same status. If the member board
in the state of principal license subsequently reinstates the physician's
license, a license issued to the physician by any other member board shall
remain encumbered until that respective member board takes action to reinstate
the license in a manner consistent with the Medical Practice Act of that
state.
3. If disciplinary action is
taken against a physician by a member board not in the state of principal
license, any other member board may deem the action conclusive as to matter of
law and fact decided, and:
(a) Impose the
same or lesser sanction(s) against the physician so long as such sanctions are
consistent with the Medical Practice Act of that state; or
(b) Pursue separate disciplinary action
against the physician under its respective Medical Practice Act, regardless of
the action taken in other member states.
(c) If a license granted to a physician by a
member board is revoked, surrendered or relinquished in lieu of discipline, or
suspended, then any license(s) issued to the physician by any other member
board(s) shall be suspended, automatically and immediately without further
action necessary by the other member board(s), for ninety (90) days upon entry
of the order by the disciplining board, to permit the member board(s) to
investigate the basis for the action under the Medical Practice Act of that
state.
(d) A member board may
terminate the automatic suspension of the license it issued prior to the
completion of the ninety (90) day suspension period in a manner consistent with
the Medical Practice Act of that state.
