MARYLAND MANUAL 163 for Occupational Diseases. In 1966, the Serious Disability Section was added. This provides for a greater amount and rate of compensation for a workman who sustains a serious disability, as defined by the Law (Code 1957, 1965 Supp., Art. 101, sees. 21-36, 66). Medical Board for Occupational Diseases Chairman: James Frenkil, M.D., 1971 Whitmer B. Firor, M.D., 1967; John Sheldon Eastland, M.D., 1969 The Medical Board for Occupational Diseases was established by Chapter 465, Acts of 1939. The Governor appoints the members of the Board for six-year terms with the approval of the Senate, from lists of nominees submitted by the Deans of the schools of medicine of the University of Maryland and the Johns Hopkins University and the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. Each of these agencies submits a list of three persons, two of whom are experienced in occupational diseases, and one of whom is an experienced physician in good professional standing. Two must have had at least five years practice in the treating, diagnosis, and care of industrial diseases, and the third must have been trained in roentgenology and must have had five years practice and experience. The Governor designates the Chairman of the Board. The Board hears and adjudicates all claims for compensation for disability caused by an occupational disease. The decisions of the Board are subject to review by the Workmen's Compensation Commission (Code 1957, Art. 101, sees. 22-29).
