          (1)  If a physician has disciplinary action imposed by another state, the board may review and consider the timeframe and underlying facts and circumstances of the out-of-state discipline to determine if the refusal to grant any license or certification in South Dakota is appropriate under SDCL chapter 36-4, or whether disciplinary action in South Dakota is appropriate under SDCL chapter 36-4;

 

          (2)  If any physician has disciplinary action imposed by another state and that action does not impose any conditions on the physician's license from the state, the documents regarding the out-of-state action may be posted to the board's website in lieu of the board taking formal disciplinary action. This is not a reportable event by the board; and

 

          (3)  Any disciplinary action imposed by another state that imposes any conditions upon the physician's license from that state may be considered unprofessional conduct pursuant to SDCL  subdivision 36-4-30(24) and subjects the physician to disciplinary action in South Dakota.
