NRS630A.225. Effect of revocation of license or certificate in another jurisdiction for gross medical negligence.

      1.  The Board shall not issue a license to practice homeopathic medicine or a certificate to practice as an advanced practitioner of homeopathy or as a homeopathic assistant to an applicant who has been licensed or certified to practice any type of medicine in another jurisdiction and whose license or certificate was revoked for gross medical negligence by that jurisdiction.

      2.  The Board may revoke the license or certificate of any person who has been licensed or certified to practice any type of medicine in another jurisdiction and whose license or certificate was revoked for gross medical negligence by that jurisdiction.

      3.  The revocation of a license or certificate to practice any type of medicine in another jurisdiction on grounds other than grounds which would constitute gross medical negligence constitutes grounds for initiating disciplinary action or denying the issuance of a license or certificate.

      4.  If a license or certificate to practice any type of medicine issued to an applicant in another jurisdiction has been revoked or surrendered, the applicant must provide proof satisfactory to the Board that the applicant is rehabilitated with respect to the conduct that was the basis for the revocation or surrender of the license or certificate when submitting an application for a license or certificate to the Board.

      5.  The Board shall vacate an order to deny a license or certificate if the denial is based on a conviction of:

      (a) A felony for a violation or offense described in paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of subsection 2 of NRS 630A.340; or

      (b) An offense involving moral turpitude,

Ê and the conviction is reversed on appeal. An applicant may resubmit an application for a license or certificate after a court enters an order reversing the conviction.

      6.  If the Board finds that an applicant has committed an act or engaged in conduct that constitutes grounds for initiating disciplinary action or denying the issuance of a license or certificate as set forth in NRS 630A.340 to 630A.380, inclusive, the Board shall investigate whether the act or conduct has been corrected or the matter has otherwise been resolved. If the matter has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the Board, the Board, before issuing a license or certificate, shall determine to its satisfaction whether or not mitigating circumstances exist which prevent the resolution of the matter.

      7.  For the purposes of this section, the Board shall adopt by regulation a definition of gross medical negligence.
