8 DE Reg 628 11-01-04
Statutory Authority: 24 Delaware Code, Section 1730(a)(12) (24 Del.C. §1730(a)(12)) 24 DE Admin. Code 1700
Pursuant to 74 Del. Laws. c.262, (Senate Bill No. 229 of the 142 General Assembly, 2004, as amended), the Board was directed to promulgate regulations specifically identifying those crimes which are substantially related to the practice of medicine and the practice of licensed respiratory care and practice as a licensed physician’s assistant.
The Board of Medical Practice believes that the State of Delaware has a compelling public policy interest in ensuring that its licensed professionals not only have specified levels of educational and professional competence but also possess sufficient character and judgment necessary to practice safely in their chosen fields and to do so in a manner which will not undermine the community’s confidence in the expertise and professionalism of the members of the profession. Licensed professionals, particularly those in health care related fields, often come into contact with clients and patients and other members of the public at times when they may be sick, infirmed or otherwise extremely vulnerable to undue influence or other forms of misuse, fraud and abuse. It is therefore critical that all reasonable steps are taken to determine, to the extent possible, that the regulation of such professionals takes into consideration not only the individual’s technical competence but his or her demonstrated propensity to behave in a way that does not expose the client population to risk or diminish legitimate expectations of honest and honorable behavior by such licensed health care professionals.

C. §10119 to address imminent peril to the public health, safety or welfare.� The Board also specifically reserves the jurisdiction to review any crime committed by an applicant for licensure as a physician and to determine whether to waive the disqualification under 24 Del.C. §1720(d).
