WHAT ARE BOARD ORDERS?
COMPLAINT & NOTICE :This document formally notifies a Licensee
that
the Board has found evidence to support a violation of the Medical Practice Act
and proposes to take disciplinary action. This is preliminary action by the
Board and is not a disciplinary action.
CONSENT AGREEMENT :The Consent Agreement is a non-disciplinary, public agreement between the Board and the licensee to resolve an issue or address deficiencies identified by the Board. A Consent Agreement is often used to formalize a re-entry plan for a licensee who proposes to return to clinical practice after ceasing practice for a significant period of time.
CORRECTIVE ACTION AGREEMENT :The Corrective Action Agreement is a public, non-disciplinary order designed to modify, monitor or otherwise correct an identified problem. The terms are agreed upon by the licensee and the Board. There are no findings of serious wrong doing, and identified problems can be addressed through remediation.
CORRECTIVE ACTION ORDER :The Board and the Licensee have entered
into a formal, non-disciplinary order designed to modify, monitor and/or otherwise
correct an identified problem. In this order, the Licensee usually does not admit
or deny a violation of the Medical Practice Act.
FINAL ORDER : An order imposed by the Board after a Contested Case
Hearing has been held. These orders conclude a Board disciplinary action and typically
contain a legal finding of fact, an analysis of the applicable law and an order
of action. Final Orders are usually disciplinary actions.
INTERIM STIPULATED ORDER: This Order puts interim or temporary
conditions
on a license until the Board is able to conclude its investigation.

Board Order.
ORDER MODIFYING CORRECTIVE ACTION ORDER: This Order modifies a

issued Corrective Action Order.

license to practice based on immediate concerns regarding the Licensee's ability
to safely practice.

issued Board Order.
ORDER TERMINATING CORRECTIVE ACTION ORDER: No longer appears
on this website. This information is available in paper format. To request a Board
Order please use the Licensee Information Request.
OTHER ORDER :This category refers to miscellaneous Board Orders.These
types of Orders are usually not disciplinary actions.

an agreement where the Licensee usually admits to a violation of the Medical
Practice Act and has agreed to specific terms or conditions in the Order. Stipulated
Orders are disciplinary actions.
VOLUNTARY LIMITATION : Licensee has agreed to sign an agreement
with the Board that restricts some area of his/her practice. This type of Order
is not a disciplinary action.
WHY CAN'T I VIEW ELECTRONIC COPIES OF ALL BOARD ORDERS LISTED?
Most Board Orders issued from January 1, 1998 until the present
are available to view on the Board's website. Orders prior to that date are available
from the Board in paper format only via US mail or fax. Electronic copies of Corrective
Action Orders, and orders that modify or terminate them, are not posted because
they are not disciplinary actions. Complaint and Notices of Proposed Disciplinary
Action are also not posted because they are not final actions by the Board. Both
Orders, however, are public and are available upon request, as described below.
HOW CAN I GET COPIES OF THE ORDERS LISTED?
Printed copies of all Board Orders are available to the public. This report is called
a Disciplinary Report. This report contains copies of ALL public orders on file
for that Licensee. To obtain a Disciplinary Report for a particular Licensee, please
complete a Licensee Information Request on the Board's website, submit
it with the $10.00 fee per licensee and mail to:
Oregon Medical Board
1500 SW 1st Ave, Ste 620
Portland , OR 97201-5547
If you pay with a credit card, you may also fax this request to (971) 673-2669.
WHY ARE THERE NOT WRITTEN SUMMARIES FOR EVERY ORDER LISTED?
A brief, written description of all Board Orders is available for all orders issued
after January 1, 2003. Prior to that date, written summaries of orders are not available.
