A. In addition or as an alternative, as the case may be, to
revoking, conditioning, suspending, reinstating or refusing to renew
any license, the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners may, after
affording opportunity to be heard:
1. Temporarily order suspension or limitation of license;
2. Issue an order of warning, reprimand or censure with regard
to any act, conduct or practice which, in the judgment of the Board
upon consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, does not
warrant the initiation of formal action;
3. Order that any person violating any provision of an act or
regulation administered by the Board to cease and desist from future
violations thereof or to take such affirmative corrective action as
may be necessary with regard to any act or practice found unlawful
by the Board;
4. Order any person as a condition for continued, reinstated or
renewed licensure or as a condition for probation or suspension to
secure medical or such other professional treatment as may be
necessary to properly discharge licensee functions; or
5. Order any person as a condition of any suspension or
probation or any disciplinary action, to 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. Said education, residency
or training shall be at the expense of the person so ordered.
B. If after considering all the testimony presented, the State
Board of Osteopathic Examiners finds that the respondent has
violated any provision of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Medicine Act or
any rule promulgated thereto, the Board may impose on the respondent
as a condition of any suspension, revocation, or probation, or any
other disciplinary action, the payment of costs expended by the
Board in investigating and prosecuting said cause, such costs to
include but not be limited to staff time, salary and travel expense,
witness fees and attorney fees. In addition, the Board may impose

an administrative fine in an amount not to exceed One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000.00) for each count or separate violation.
C. The Secretary of the Board may issue a letter of concern to
a licensee, without a hearing, when evidence does not warrant formal
proceedings, but indications exist of possible errant conduct that
could lead to serious consequences and formal action. The letter of
concern may contain, at the Secretary's discretion, clarifying
information from the licensee. Such letters of concern are
considered remedial.
