(a) In reviewing an application for licensure, certification, or registration or
in investigating an allegation brought against a licensed physician or any allied health
professional regulated by the Board under this title, the Physician Rehabilitation
[Committee] PROGRAM may request the Board to direct, or the Board on its own
initiative may direct, the licensed physician or any allied health professional regulated
by the Board under this title to submit to an appropriate examination.
(b) In return for the privilege given by the State issuing a license,
certification, or registration, the licensed, certified, or registered individual is deemed
to have:
(1) Consented to submit to an examination under this section, if
requested by the Board in writing; and
(2) Waived any claim of privilege as to the testimony or examination
reports.
(c) The unreasonable failure or refusal of the licensed, certified, or registered
individual to submit to an examination is prima facie evidence of the licensed,
certified, or registered individual's inability to practice medicine or the respective
discipline competently, unless the Board finds that the failure or refusal was beyond
the control of the licensed, certified, or registered individual.
