To the treasurer of the board of examiners, upon license to practise
obstetrics without examination, $1 (_ib._, s. 12).
VERMONT.
QUALIFICATION.—The medical societies organized under a charter from
the General Assembly at each annual session elect a board of censors of
three members, who may examine and license practitioners of medicine,
surgery, and midwifery (Revised Laws, 1880, s. 3,908).
A practitioner of medicine, surgery, or midwifery who by sign or
advertisement offers his services to the public as a practitioner of
medicine, surgery, or midwifery, or who by such sign or advertisement
assumes the title of doctor, shall obtain a certificate from one of
such medical societies, either from a county, district, or State
society (_ib._, s. 3,909).
A person not a resident of the State who has not received a diploma
from a chartered medical college must obtain a certificate from a board
of censors before he shall be permitted to practise the medical art in
the State (_ib._, s. 3,910).
Each board of censors must issue certificates without fee to physicians
and surgeons who furnish evidence by diploma from a medical college
or university, or by a certificate of examination by an authorized
board, which satisfies said censors that the person presenting such
credentials has been, after due examination, deemed qualified to
practise the branch mentioned in such diploma or certificate (_ib._, s.
3,911).
The censors in their discretion shall notify the practitioner of
medicine, surgery, or midwifery of this chapter, and require such
persons to comply therewith within thirty days after notification or
such further time as is allowed by the censors not exceeding ninety
days (_ib._, s. 3,912).
The certificate must set forth the branches of the medical art in which
the person is qualified to practise (_ib._, s. 3,913).
The certificate must be recorded in the clerk’s office of the county in
which the holder resides, or, if not a resident of the State, in the
county in which he obtained his certificate (_ib._, s. 3,914).
A certificate issued by a board of censors is valid throughout the
State after being duly recorded. The censors may revoke or annul
a certificate if in their judgment the holder has obtained it
fraudulently or has forfeited his right to public confidence by the
conviction of crime (_ib._, s. 3,915).
PENALTY.—To practise medicine, surgery, or midwifery in the State, or
sign a certificate of death for burial or removal unless authorized by
a certificate issued and recorded, is punishable with a fine of from
$50 to $200 for the first offence, and for subsequent offences with a
fine of from $200 to $500, recoverable by an action of debt for the use
of any person who sues or by indictment (_ib._, s. 3,916).
