The Commission on Medical Discipline
was created by Chapter 469, Acts of 1968
to become effective on July 1, 1969. The
Commission consists of nine members ap-
pointed for three-year terms. Of the nine
members, one must be the President of the
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Mary-
land. Two must be physicians appointed by
the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene.
One must be the Chairman of the Council
of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty.
Three members must be appointed by the
Board of Medical Examiners, and two must
be appointed by the Secretary of Health and
Mental Hygiene from lists submitted by the
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State
of Maryland (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol.,
Art. 43, sec. 145).
The Commission refers any cases coming
to its attention to the appropriate local
county society or committee of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of
Maryland for investigation and report. The
report must be acted upon within ninety
days unless there is a time extension granted
by the Commission. The report must contain
such recommendations as the investigation
reveals might be necessary for adequate dis-
ciplinary procedures. The recommendations
will then be considered by the Commission.

The practice of Medicine was first regu-
lated in Maryland by Chapter 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 Homeopathic Society. The
Legislature of 1957 abolished the Homeo-
pathic 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,
1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 43, sees. 119-149).
The Board tests 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 li-
censes must be graduates of medical schools
approved by the American Medical Asso-
ciation and the Association 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) the FLEX (Federal Licensing Ex-
amination); or (2) endorsement of licenses
obtained in a reciprocating state; or (3)
endorsement of a certificate of the National
Board of Medical Examiners. FLEX exam-
inations are held in June and December of
each year.
Effective June 1, 1967, the Board of
Medical Examiners began licensing certain
Osteopaths on the basis of endorsement, de-
pending upon their qualifications (Code
1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 43, sec.
124(a2)).
Staff: 4.
