lished by Chapter 786, Acts of 1914, consists of
six members. Five are appointed by the Governor
upon the recommendation of the Secretary of
Health and Mental Hygiene for three-year terms
from a full list of members in good standing of
the Maryland Osteopathic Association (Code
1957, Art. 43, secs. 467-80). The sixth member is
a consumer, appointed by the Governor on the
recommendation of the Secretary and with the

ings each year to examine those 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.
