Section 630.Sec. 26 - NEW1. If the Board or any investigative committee of the Board has reason to believe that the conduct of any anesthesiologist assistant has raised a reasonable question as to his or her competence to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant with reasonable skill and safety to patients, the Board or committee, as applicable, may order that the anesthesiologist assistant undergo a mental or physical examination or an examination testing his or her competence to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant by physicians or any other examination designated by the Board to assist the Board or committee in determining the fitness of the anesthesiologist assistant to practice as an anesthesiologist assistant.2. Every anesthesiologist assistant who applies for or is issued a license and who accepts the privilege of assisting in the practice of medicine in this State shall be deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an examination pursuant to subsection 1 when the anesthesiologist assistant is directed to do so in writing by the Board.3. For the purposes of this section, the report of testimony or examination by the examining physicians does not constitute a privileged communication.4. Except in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Board, the failure of a licensed anesthesiologist assistant to submit to an examination when he or she is directed to do so pursuant to this section constitutes an admission of the charges against him or her. A default and final order may be entered without the taking of testimony or presentation of evidence.5. An anesthesiologist assistant who is subject to an examination pursuant to this section shall pay the costs of the examination.Nev. Admin. Code § 630.Sec. 26
