060.00.98 Ark. Code R. 003 - Regulation 2(7)

A licensed physician engaging in sexual contact, sexual relations, or a romantic relationship with a patient concurrent with the physician-patient relationship; or a licensed physician engaging in the same conduct with a former patient, if the physician uses or exploits trust, knowledge, emotions or influence derived from the previous professional relationship, shows a lack of fidelity of professional duties and immoral conduct, thus exhibiting gross negligence and ignorant malpractice. A patient's consent to, initiation of, or participation in the sexual relationship or conduct with a physician does not change the nature of the conduct nor the prohibition.
