(c) Petitioner's appearance at any hearing concerning reinstatement of a license shall be in person unless otherwise approved by the executive director.

(d) The burden of proof is on the petitioner to prove present fitness to practice as well as compliance with all terms and conditions imposed as a part of any revocation, surrender, or suspension. A license may be reissued with a limited practice designation or with stipulations. If petition for reinstatement is denied, Petitioner may request a hearing before SOAH.

(2) the conduct of the petitioner subsequent to the suspension, revocation, or acceptance of surrender of license;

(3) the lapse of time since suspension, revocation, or acceptance of surrender;

(4) compliance with all conditions imposed by the Board as a prerequisite for issuance of the license; and
