Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-38-307 - Additional Requirements to Register a Previously Licensed Health Care Practitioner

A. An individual who is or ever has been licensed as a health care practitioner in a U.S. jurisdiction in a profession subject to regulation by licensure in this state shall not attempt to practice the health care profession outside of this state's regulatory authority by obtaining registration as a medical assistant under this Chapter.

B. A homeopathic physician may register as a medical assistant an individual previously licensed or subject to professional regulation as a health care practitioner in a U.S. jurisdiction, only if the individual meets one of the standards in R4-38-305(A). To register as a medical assistant an individual previously licensed or subject to professional regulation as a health care practitioner in a U.S. jurisdiction, a homeopathic physician shall submit to the Board the application form and materials required under R4-38-306(B) and (C).

C. In addition to complying with subsection (B), a homeopathic physician applying to register as a medical assistant an individual previously licensed or subject to professional regulation as a health care professional in a U.S. jurisdiction shall submit to the Board an affidavit from the individual being registered stating the reason for which the individual seeks employment as a homeopathic medical assistant rather than as a licensed Arizona health care practitioner in accordance with the individual's professional training.

D. The Board shall conduct an investigation of the individual's health care professional practice in all jurisdictions in which the individual is or ever has been licensed. The Board shall ensure that the investigation is sufficient to determine whether the individual ever engaged in unprofessional conduct, was deemed incompetent, or was physically or mentally unable to provide health care services safely.

E. The Board shall conduct a personal interview with the homeopathic physician and the individual being registered to determine whether:

1. The description of homeopathic procedures and delegated duties provided under subsection (B) is accurate,

2. The supervisory relationship between the homeopathic physician and individual will not constitute a violation of A.R.S. § 32-2933(11),

3. The homeopathic physician understands the supervisory responsibilities, and

4. The individual being registered understands the limitations under this Article and applicable statutes.
