R4-16-506. Referral to Formal Hearing

A. The executive director may directly refer a case to a formal hearing if the investigative staff, supervising medical consultant, and lead Board member concur after review of the physician’s case that a formal hearing is appropriate. B. The executive director shall provide to the Board at each regularly scheduled Board meeting a list of the physicians whose cases were referred to formal hearing since the preceding Board meeting and whether the referral is for revocation or suspension or the result of an out-of-state disciplinary action or due to complexity of the case.
