The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal complaint against
Dr. Shallenberger for alleged substandard medical care rendered to a seventy-six year old male patient,
a violation of NRS 630.301(4). Dr. Shallenberger allegedly violated Section 630.301 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by failing to use reasonable care, skill, or knowledge ordinarily used under similar circumstances.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2007
The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners accepted, approved and adopted a
settlement agreement, whereby Dr. Shallenberger , by not contesting, hereby agrees, and does not contest, that an order may be entered herein by the Board finding that
he engaged in conduct that is grounds for discipline pursuant to the Medical Practice Act, to wit: that in treating the patient referenced in the original complaint filed by the Investigative Committee,
his allopathic care and associated medical record keeping of the patient were inconsistent with the appropriate standard of care that should have been applied based upon the circumstances, and therefore tantamount to a violation of NRS 630.301(4), that
Dr. Shallenberger be publicly reprimanded, that he be be fined in the amount of $5,000.00, and that within one year of the acceptance,
adoption and approval of the settlement agreement, Dr. Shallenberger shall complete
16 hours of continuing medical education on the subject of cancer screening and diagnosis,
to be pre-approved by Board's Investigative Committee. The aforementioned
continuing medical education is to be in addition to any other continuing
medical education requirements which are regularly imposed upon Dr.
Shallenberger as a condition of licensure in the state of Nevada. Further, Dr.
Shallenberger shall reimburse the Board's costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and prosecution of
the case. The aforementioned fine and costs are to be paid to the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners within
60 days of the acceptance, adoption and approval of the settlement agreement by the Board.
