(b) Employment of a new physicians, physician
assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse in a licensed pain management
clinic. The notification must be on a form approved by the Board and must

a person who does not qualify for employment at a pain clinic under the law and
rules of the Board is grounds for disciplinary action against the clinic
license. A clinic license holder may voluntarily submit notification with a
request for prior Board approval to verify that a person does qualifies for
employment under the laws and rules of the Board.
