Current through June 25, 2024
A. Grounds for
				Disciplinary Action Against Radiologist Assistants For the purpose of
				conducting disciplinary actions against individuals licensed to practice as
				radiologist assistants, the Board hereby incorporates those grounds for the
				non-issuance, suspension, revocation, or restriction of a license or the denial
				of reinstatement or renewal of a license, as set forth in Mississippi Code,
				Sections
				73-25-29
				and
				73-25-83.
				As a basis for denial, suspension, revocation or other restriction, the Board
				may initiate disciplinary proceedings based upon any one or more of those
				grounds as set forth in Sections
				73-25-29
				and
				73-25-83,
				and may make provision for the assessment of costs as provided
				therein.
B. Hearing Procedure and
				Appeals
No individual shall be denied a license or have his or her
				  license suspended, revoked or restriction placed thereon, unless the individual
				  licensed as a radiologist assistant has been given notice and opportunity to be
				  heard. For the purpose of notice, disciplinary hearings and appeals, the Board
				  hereby adopts and incorporates by reference all provisions of the "Rules of
				  Procedure" now utilized by the Board for those individuals licensed to practice
				  medicine, osteopathic medicine, and podiatric medicine in the state of
				  Mississippi.
C.
				Reinstatement of License
1. A person whose
				license to practice as a radiologist assistant has been revoked, suspended, or
				otherwise restricted may petition the Mississippi State Board of Medical
				Licensure to reinstate his or her license after a period of not less than one
				(1) year has elapsed from the date of the revocation or suspension. The
				procedure for the reinstatement of a license that is suspended for being out of
				compliance with an order for support, as defined in Section
				93-11-153,
				shall be governed by Sections
				93-11-157
				or
				93-11-163,
				as the case may be.
2. The
				petition shall be accompanied by two (2) or more verified recommendations from
				physicians or osteopaths licensed by the Board of Medical Licensure to which
				the petition is addressed and by two (2) or more recommendations from citizens
				each having personal knowledge of the activities of the petitioner since the
				disciplinary penalty was imposed and such facts as may be required by the Board
				of Medical Licensure.
The petition may be heard at the next regular meeting of the
				  Board of Medical Licensure but not earlier than thirty (30) days after the
				  petition was filed. No petition shall be considered while the petitioner is
				  under sentence for any criminal offense, including any period during which he
				  or she is under probation or parole. The hearing may be continued from time to
				  time as the Board of Medical Licensure finds necessary.
3. In determining whether the disciplinary
				penalty should be set aside and the terms and conditions, if any, which should
				be imposed if the disciplinary penalty is set aside, the Board of Medical
				Licensure may investigate and consider all activities of the petitioner since
				the disciplinary action was taken against him or her, the offense for which he
				or she was disciplined, his or her activity during the time his or her
				certificate was in good standing, his or her general reputation for truth,
				professional ability and good character; and it may require the petitioner to
				pass an oral examination.
