A person possessing these qualifications shall, on presentation of his
diploma, or proof thereof by affidavit if it be lost or destroyed,
and the affidavit of two reputable citizens from the county where he
resides that the applicant possesses the qualifications of a physician,
as prescribed herein, to the superintendent of public health, receive
from him a license, which shall be recorded in the office of the
register of deeds in the county where such physician resides.
OFFENCE.—To practise without complying with this law, or to violate
any of its provisions, is a misdemeanor.
DEFINITION.—A person is regarded as practising medicine who professes
publicly to be a physician and to prescribe for the sick, or who
appends to his name M.D.
EXCEPTIONS.—The law does not prohibit students from prescribing under
the supervision of preceptors, nor prohibit gratuitous services in case
of emergency, nor apply to commissioned surgeons in the United States
army and navy.
CANCELLATION OF LICENSE.—The district court has power on complaint of
a member of the territorial board of health, or the county board of
health where he resides, to cancel any license issued to a person to
practise medicine, where such license was fraudulently obtained, or
where the person to whom it was issued has been guilty of violating any
provision of this act.
FEE.—To superintendent of board of health, for license, $2 (Comp.
Stats., 1893, s. 352).
OREGON.
QUALIFICATION.—Every person practising medicine and surgery in any
of their departments must possess the qualifications required by the
act. If a graduate of medicine he must present his diploma to the board
of examiners for verification as to its genuineness. If found genuine
and the person named therein be the person claiming and presenting
the same, the board issues its certificate, which is conclusive. If
not a graduate, he must submit to an examination as the board shall
require, and if the examination be satisfactory the board issues its
certificate, and the lawful holder is entitled to all the rights and
privileges mentioned in the act (Act February 28th, 1889, s. 1).
The governor appoints three persons from among the most competent
physicians of the State, residents of the State for seven years and of
at least five years’ practical experience in their profession, to be
the board of examiners (_ib._, s. 2).
The board must issue certificates to all who furnish satisfactory
proof of having received a diploma or license from a legally chartered
medical institution in good standing of whatever school of medicine,
and they are not permitted to make discrimination against holders of a
general license or diploma under any school or system of medicine in
good standing (_ib._, s. 3, as amended February 21st, 1891).
