Linhardt, M.D., 1970 Gerald A. Galvin, M.D., 1971; J. Roy Guyther, M.D., 1971; Archie R. Cohen, M.D., 1972; John E. Adams, M.D., 1973; De Witt E. Lawder, M.D., 1973. 1211 Cathedral Street, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 685-1030 The practice of Medicine was first regulated in Maryland by Chap- ter 429, Acts of 1888, which required that the State Board of Health license all physicians. By Chapter 296, Acts of 1892, the General Assembly created two Boards of Medical Examiners to carry on this function, one to represent the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty and the other the State Homeogathic Society. The Legislature of 1957 abolished the Homeopathic Board and the practice of medicine in Maryland is now regulated by one Board, composed of eight members elected from and by the members of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty (State Medical Society). Two members are elected each year to serve for four-year terms. All members must be in active practice in the State (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 48, sees. 119-149). The Board teats and licenses physicians for the legal practice of medicine in this State and for certain causes may revoke the license of any physician. Candidates for licenses must be graduates of medical schools approved by the American Medical Association and the Associ- ation of American Medical Colleges, or of foreign medical schools that offer an equivalent education. All graduates of foreign medical schools who apply after January 1, 1959, must pass the examination given by the Educational Council for Foreign Medical Graduates. The Board determines qualifications for practice by (1) its own written examination; or (2) endorsement of licenses obtained in a reciprocat- ing state; or (3) endorsement of a certificate of the National Board of Medical Examiners. Examinations are held in June and December of each year. Effective June 1, 1967, the Board of Medical Examiners will license certain Osteopaths on the basis of endorsement, depending upon their qualifications (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., 1968 Supp., Art. 43, sec. 124). Appropriations 1969 1970 Special Funds - $85,306 $87,749 Staff: 5. COMMISSION ON MEDICAL DISCIPLINE Chairman: John M. Dennis, M.D., 1972 Russell S.
