Nev. Admin. Code § 630.Sec. 26 - NEW
1. If the Board or any investigative
committee of the Board has reason to believe that the conduct of any
anesthesiologist assistant has raised a reasonable question as to his or her
competence to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant with reasonable skill
and safety to patients, the Board or committee, as applicable, may order that
the anesthesiologist assistant undergo a mental or physical examination or an
examination testing his or her competence to practice as an anesthesiologist
assistant by physicians or any other examination designated by the Board to
assist the Board or committee in determining the fitness of the
anesthesiologist assistant to practice as an anesthesiologist
assistant.
2. Every
anesthesiologist assistant who applies for or is issued a license and who
accepts the privilege of assisting in the practice of medicine in this State
shall be deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an examination
pursuant to subsection 1 when the anesthesiologist assistant is directed to do
so in writing by the Board.
3. For
the purposes of this section, the report of testimony or examination by the
examining physicians does not constitute a privileged communication.
4. Except in extraordinary circumstances, as
determined by the Board, the failure of a licensed anesthesiologist assistant
to submit to an examination when he or she is directed to do so pursuant to
this section constitutes an admission of the charges against him or her. A
default and final order may be entered without the taking of testimony or
presentation of evidence.
5. An
anesthesiologist assistant who is subject to an examination pursuant to this
section shall pay the costs of the examination.
