of five members appointed by the Governor for three-year terms from
a full list of members in good standing of the Maryland Osteopathic
Association (Code 1957, Art. 43, sees. 467-80).
The Maryland Board of Osteopathic Examiners investigates the cre-
dentials of an applicant for permission to practice Osteopathy within
the State and issues or refuses licenses. It holds two meetings each year
to examine these applicants whose credentials will not warrant issuing
of a license through the Previous Practice or Reciprocity Acts. The
Board cooperates with municipal and State officials in enforcing the
laws regulating the practice.
