THE BOARD OF MEDICAL REGISTRATION AND EXAMINATION. Τ HE law providing for the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination was passed on February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c, d, e, f, and g, Revised Statutes of Ohio.) The first Board was appointed by Governor Bushnell in March, 1896, and held its first session on March 25, 1896. The Board consists of seven members representing the different schools of medicine in proportion to their numerical strength in the State, and the members are appointed by the Governor, each for a term of seven years. The Secretary, who is made executive officer of the Board by the law, is not a member of the Board, but is elected each year by the Board. The law requires that the Secretary shall be a physician in good standing. The purpose of this department is to regulate the practice of medicine, surgery and midwifery in the State of Ohio, and to protect the people of the state from illegal practitioners of the same. The duties of the department consist of the registration of competent persons for the practice of medicine, surgery and midwifery, the regulation of medical colleges and the prosecution of illegal practitioners of medicine, surgery and midwifery. The department is self-supporting, depending upon the fees collected from the examination and registration of physicians and midwives for its revenue. The law of February 27, 1896, provided that the Board should issue certificates upon the basis of graduation from medical colleges recognized as in good standing by the Board. On April 14, 1900, an amendment to the law of February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c-f, Revised Statutes of Ohio), was passed requiring that all applicants for registration in the State of Ohio shall appear before the Board and pass an examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Practice of Medicine, Practice of Surgery, Obstetrics, Pathology and such other subjects as the Board may require. The fee for registration under the provisions of the law of February 27, 1896, was $5.00, and the fee for examination under the present law is $25.00. The following facts are stated for the information of those desiring to practice medicine or surgery in the State of Ohio. 1. No person can lawfully practice medicine in the State of Ohio unless licensed to do so by the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination. |
