NEVADA
STATE BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS LICENSES PHYSICIANS UNDER NEW LEGISLATION
At its quarterly meeting on December 5 and 6, 2003, the Nevada State
Board of Medical Examiners considered the applications of 31 applicants for
medical licensure and 1 applicant for physician assistant licensure.
All applicants appeared personally before the Board.
Of the 31 physician applicants, 18
had applied for licensure by endorsement, a new category for special admission
adopted by the Legislature at its recently concluded session.
Of the 18 applicants for medical licensure by endorsement, 1 was granted a
license by endorsement due to his unique background, training and capabilities,
and 13 were granted regular licenses, due to their having recently passed
American Board of Medical Specialties specialty board recertification or
agreeing to sit for, and successfully pass, a peer review by a Nevada licensed
physician practicing in their respective specialty.
The Board declined to exercise its discretion to grant medical licensure
by endorsement to 4 applicants.
Of the remaining 14 applicants, 1
physician assistant was granted a license, 9 applicants for medical licensure
were granted licenses, 1 applicant for medical licensure withdrew her
application, and 1 application for medical licensure was tabled for further
review.
The Board denied the applications for licensure of 2 applicants for medical licensure:
James L. Flowers, M.D.
The Board denied the application for medical licensure in the state of
Nevada of James L. Flowers, M.D., of Wisconsin, based upon the disciplinary
action taken against his license to practice medicine by the medical board of
Wisconsin, per NRS 630.301(1).
Jeffrey S. Wick, M.D.
The Board denied the application for medical licensure in the state of
Nevada of Jeffrey S. Wick, M.D., of Arizona, based upon his attempting to obtain
a license to practice medicine by false, misleading, inaccurate or incomplete
statement, per NRS 630.304(1).
In the 6 months prior to the December Board meeting, the Board administratively licensed 200 physicians who met all of the statutory and regulatory qualifications for medical licensure.
