## Chapter 50-02-02.1 — Administrative License

### § 50-02-02.1-01. Administrative license.

The board may issue a license that is limited to administrative medicine, which is defined as
administration or management using the medical knowledge, skill, and judgment of a licensed
physician that may affect the health of any member of the public.
An administrative medical license does not permit the licensee to practice clinical medicine which,
for purposes of this rule, includes the provision of any patient diagnosis or treatment, the prescribing of
any drug, or the delegation of medical authority to, or the supervision of, any health professional. The
board shall require an applicant for an administrative medical license to sign an acknowledgment of
these limitations prior to the issuance of an administrative medical license.
An applicant for an administrative medical license must meet all the eligibility requirements for a
regular medical license, except that the applicant will not be required to demonstrate the maintenance
of an active clinical practice prior to applying for an administrative medical license.
The holder of an administrative medical license is subject to the same rules and regulations as
those holding a regular medical license, including the regulations governing license renewal, fees,
continuing medical education, and discipline.
