HOMEOPATHIC ASSISTANTS AND ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS OF HOMEOPATHY
Disciplinary Action
Section 630A.570 - Procedure for disciplinary action: Written complaint; investigation

1. If the Board, a member of the Board or any other person who is aware of any act or circumstance that constitutes grounds for disciplinary action against a homeopathic assistant or an advanced practitioner of homeopathy desires to initiate disciplinary action against a homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy, the Board, member of the Board or other person must file with the Board a written complaint specifying the charge against the homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy.

2. Unless the Board determines that the complaint is without merit, in response to a complaint filed against a homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy or on its own initiative, the Board will assign an investigative committee to determine whether a charge against a homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy justifies disciplinary action. The investigative committee will be composed of not less than three members of the Board, at least one of whom is a licensed homeopathic physician.

3. Following an investigation, the investigative committee will present its evaluation and recommendations to the Board. The Board will review the findings of the committee to determine whether to take further action.

4. If the Board determines after investigation that a homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy has violated any of the provisions of this chapter, the Board will notify the Attorney General of its findings and any disciplinary action taken.

5. A member of the Board who participates in an investigation will not participate in the review conducted pursuant to subsection 3 or in a subsequent hearing or action which is related to the investigation.

6. Before assigning the complaint to an investigative committee pursuant to subsection 2, the Board must provide the supervising physician and homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy, as applicable, with a copy of the complaint. If the Board determines that a complaint is without merit, the Board may provide the supervising physician and homeopathic assistant or advanced practitioner of homeopathy, as applicable, with a copy of the complaint, including the name of the person who filed the complaint.
