Licensure and Supervision, after considering all the testimony
presented, that the defendant is guilty as charged, the Board shall
revoke the license of the defendant, and the defendant's rights to
practice medicine and surgery. The Board, however, may suspend a
license, during which suspension the holder of such suspended
license shall not be entitled to practice medicine and surgery
thereunder. If during suspension, the defendant practiced medicine
or surgery or has been guilty of any act of unprofessional conduct,
as defined by the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure

licensee or place the licensee upon probation for any period of time
not less than one (1) year, nor more than five (5) years, or on
second offense place the licensee on probation for an indefinite
period of time, during which time the licensee's conduct will be
kept under observation. The Board, furthermore, may impose on the
defendant, as a condition of any suspension or probation, a
requirement that the defendant attend and produce evidence of
successful completion of a specific term of education, residency, or
training in enumerated fields and/or institutions as ordered by the
Board based on the facts of the case. The education, residency, or
training shall be at the expense of the defendant. The Board may
