(1) If, after
examination of the application for a license to practice as a physician
assistant and after consideration of any information developed by the Board
pursuant to an investigation into the qualifications of the physician assistant
for licensure, the Board determines that there is probable cause to believe
there exist grounds upon which the application for licensure may be denied, the
Board shall take the following actions:
(a)
Defer final decision on the application for licensure; and
(b) Notify the physician assistant of the
grounds for possible denial of the application for licensure and the procedure
for obtaining a hearing before the Board.
(2) The failure to request a hearing within
the time specified in the notice shall be deemed a waiver of such
hearing.
(3) If requested by the
physician assistant, a hearing shall be set before the full Board of Medical
Examiners on the application for licensure.
(4) In the event that a hearing is not
requested, the Board shall take action to approve or deny the application for
licensure.
(5) All hearings under
this rule shall be conducted in accordance with the Alabama Administrative
Procedure Act, §§
41-22-1
et
seq., Code of
Ala. 1975 and Chapter 6 of the Rules and Regulations of the Board
of Medical Examiners. A decision rendered by the Board at the conclusion of the
hearing shall constitute final administrative action of the Board of Medical
Examiners for the purposes of judicial review under §§
41-22-20. The physician assistant
applicant shall have the burden of demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Board that he or she meets all qualifications and requirements for
licensure as a physician assistant.
