A. Grounds for
Disciplinary Action Against Radiologist Assistants For the purpose of
conducting disciplinary actions against individuals licensed to practice as
radiologist assistants, the Board hereby incorporates those grounds for the
non-issuance, suspension, revocation, or restriction of a license or the denial
of reinstatement or renewal of a license, as set forth in Mississippi Code,
Sections
73-25-29
and
73-25-83.
As a basis for denial, suspension, revocation or other restriction, the Board
may initiate disciplinary proceedings based upon any one or more of those
grounds as set forth in Sections
73-25-29
and
73-25-83,
and may make provision for the assessment of costs as provided
therein.
B. Hearing Procedure and
Appeals
No individual shall be denied a license or have his or her
license suspended, revoked or restriction placed thereon, unless the individual
licensed as a radiologist assistant has been given notice and opportunity to be
heard. For the purpose of notice, disciplinary hearings and appeals, the Board
hereby adopts and incorporates by reference all provisions of the "Rules of
Procedure" now utilized by the Board for those individuals licensed to practice
medicine, osteopathic medicine, and podiatric medicine in the state of
Mississippi.
C.
Reinstatement of License
1. A person whose
license to practice as a radiologist assistant has been revoked, suspended, or
otherwise restricted may petition the Mississippi State Board of Medical
Licensure to reinstate his or her license after a period of not less than one
(1) year has elapsed from the date of the revocation or suspension. The
procedure for the reinstatement of a license that is suspended for being out of
compliance with an order for support, as defined in Section
93-11-153,
shall be governed by Sections
93-11-157
or
93-11-163,
as the case may be.
2. The
petition shall be accompanied by two (2) or more verified recommendations from
physicians or osteopaths licensed by the Board of Medical Licensure to which
the petition is addressed and by two (2) or more recommendations from citizens
each having personal knowledge of the activities of the petitioner since the
disciplinary penalty was imposed and such facts as may be required by the Board
of Medical Licensure.
The petition may be heard at the next regular meeting of the
Board of Medical Licensure but not earlier than thirty (30) days after the
petition was filed. No petition shall be considered while the petitioner is
under sentence for any criminal offense, including any period during which he
or she is under probation or parole. The hearing may be continued from time to
time as the Board of Medical Licensure finds necessary.
3. In determining whether the disciplinary
penalty should be set aside and the terms and conditions, if any, which should
be imposed if the disciplinary penalty is set aside, the Board of Medical
Licensure may investigate and consider all activities of the petitioner since
the disciplinary action was taken against him or her, the offense for which he
or she was disciplined, his or her activity during the time his or her
certificate was in good standing, his or her general reputation for truth,
professional ability and good character; and it may require the petitioner to
pass an oral examination.
