Qualification.—It is unlawful for any person to practise medicine, surgery, or obstetrics, or any of their branches, without having obtained and registered a certificate. No person is entitled to a certificate unless he be a graduate of a legally chartered medical school or college in good standing. The qualifications are determined by the State board of health. The act does not prevent physicians residing in other States from visiting patients in consultation with resident physicians who have complied. (Act of 1891, c. 35, s. 7).
A medical school is defined as a medical school or college which requires a previous examination for admission to its courses of study, and which requires for granting the degree of “M.D.” attendance on at least three courses of lectures of six months each, no two of said courses to be held within one year, and having a full faculty of professors in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, toxicology, pathology, hygiene, materia medica, therapeutics, obstetrics, gynæcology, principle (sic) and practice of medicine and surgery, and clinical instruction in the last two named. But the three-year clause does not apply to degrees granted prior to July, 1891 (ib., s. 8).
A person intending to practise medicine, surgery, or obstetrics must present his diploma to the said board, with his affidavit that he is the lawful possessor of the same and has attended the full course of study required for the degree of “M.D.,” and that he is the person therein named. Such affidavit may be taken before any person authorized to administer oaths, and it shall be attested under the hand and official seal of the official, if he have a seal. False swearing is perjury (ib., s. 9).
