TITLE 11. OSTEOPATHY.

SUBTITLE 1. DEFINITIONS; GENERAL PROVISIONS.

11-101. DEFINITIONS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

IN THIS TITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS
INDICATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language used as
the standard introductory language to a
definition section.

See also § 1-101 of this article for other
applicable definitions.

(B)  BOARD.

"BOARD" MEANS THE STATE BOARD OF OSTEOPATHIC EXAMINERS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to avoid needless repetition of the full title of
the Board.

The word "State" is added to achieve uniformity
among the names of the health occupation boards
that this article governs.

(C)  LICENSE.

"LICENSE" MEANS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE,
A LICENSE ISSUED BY THE BOARD TO PRACTICE OSTEOPATHY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to avoid needless repetition of phrases such as
"license to practice osteopathy".

(D)  LICENSED DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHY.

"LICENSED DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHY" MEANS, UNLESS THE
CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, A DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHY WHO IS
LICENSED BY THE BOARD TO PRACTICE OSTEOPATHY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to avoid needless repetition of phrases such as
"individual licensed to practice osteopathy".

On occasion, the term "licensee" is used in this
title as a synonym for "licensed doctor of
osteopathy". Since "license" is defined in
subsection (c) of this section, "licensee" need
not be defined separately.

(E) PRACTICE OSTEOPATHY.
