Minnesota Medical Practice Act
Minnesota · Board of Medical Practice · §§ 147.001 to 147.381 · 37 sections
Overview
The act governs the practice of medicine within a state, defining who falls under its requirements and exempting certain activities, including services provided as a sports team physician, general nutritional advice, and self-care, while addressing how it applies to telemedicine and certain independent contractor agreements. It establishes a state medical board and sets its composition, member qualifications, terms and grounds for removal, officers, meeting and quorum rules, and the appointment and duties of an executive director and staff. The board is given rulemaking authority over matters such as advertising and competitive bidding, maintenance of patient records, telemedicine services, and the consequences of criminal convictions, and the act separately prohibits discrimination against practitioners based on the type of academic medical degree held, certain religious tenets, or maintenance of certification.
