The council may grant a license to practise medicine, surgery, or midwifery to an applicant at the time of the passage of this act practising medicine, surgery, or midwifery, or any of them, in Prince Edward Island, on a preliminary examination as the council may think necessary for the public safety, provided such person shall have practised five years in the province, but such person is not thereby entitled to registration (ib., s. 15).
When there has been established an authorized examining body or an institution recognized by the legislature of any other province of the Dominion of Canada as the sole examining body for granting certificates of qualification, and where the curriculum is equal to that appointed by the medical council of Prince Edward Island, the holder of such certificate shall, upon due proof, be entitled to registration by the council of Prince Edward Island, if the same privilege is accorded in such other province to those registered in Prince Edward Island (ib., s. 16).
The council is required to hold examinations at least every three months, if required, for candidates for registration, at such places and times and in the same manner as the council may direct (ib., s. 18).
Every person registered who obtains a higher degree or other qualification shall, on the payment of such fees as the council shall appoint, be entitled to have it registered in substitution for or in addition to the qualification previously registered (ib., s. 19).
No qualification is entered unless the registrar be satisfied, by proper evidence, that the person claiming is entitled to register it. There is an appeal to the council; any name proved to the council to have been fraudulently or incorrectly entered may be erased by an order in writing of the council (ib., s. 20).
If the registrar is dissatisfied with the evidence he may, subject to appeal to the council, refuse registration until the person claiming it has furnished evidence to the satisfaction of the registrar, duly attested by oath or affidavit before a notary public or justice of the peace (ib., s. 21).
A medical practitioner guilty of infamous or disgraceful conduct in a professional respect is liable to have his name erased, and if he apply for registration the council may refuse it (ib., s. 22).
The registrar may publish in a newspaper or newspapers of Prince Edward Island the fact that the name of such person has been erased, and the cause of the erasure, but not until the appeal, if any has been taken within the time allowed, has been disposed of (ib., s. 23).
