633.481 Revocation of license to practice osteopathic medicine on expiration of notice of failure to renew; waiver of requirements for continuing education; restoration of license.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, if a licensee of the practice of osteopathic medicine fails to comply with the requirements of NRS 633.471 within 30 days after the renewal date, the Board shall give 30 days’ notice of failure to renew and of revocation of the license by certified mail to the licensee at the licensee’s last address registered with the Board. If the license is not renewed before the expiration of the 30 days’ notice, the license is automatically revoked without any further notice or a hearing and the Board shall file a copy of the notice with the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States Department of Justice or its successor agency.
2. A licensee of the practice of osteopathic medicine who fails to meet the continuing education requirements for license renewal may apply to the Board for a waiver of the requirements. The Board may grant a waiver for that year only if it finds that the failure is due to the licensee’s disability, military service or absence from the United States, or to circumstances beyond the control of the licensee which are deemed by the Board to excuse the failure.
3. A person whose license is revoked under this section may apply to the Board for restoration of the license upon:
(a) Payment of all past due renewal fees and the late payment fee specified in this chapter;
(b) Producing verified evidence satisfactory to the Board of completion of the total number of hours of continuing education required for the year preceding the renewal date and for each year succeeding the date of revocation;
(c) Stating under oath in writing that he or she has not withheld information from the Board which if disclosed would furnish grounds for disciplinary action under this chapter; and
(d) Submitting all information required to complete the restoration of the license.
