(2) suspend a license for a determinate period of time;
(3) censure a licensee;

(6) impose limitations or conditions on the practice of a licensee;
(7) impose a civil fine of not more than $25,000; or

(b) The board may end the probation of a licensee if it finds that the deficiencies which required this sanction have been remedied.
(c) The board may summarily suspend a license before final hearing or during the appeals process if the board finds that the licensee poses a clear and immediate danger to the public health and safety if the licensee continues to practice. A person whose license is suspended under this section is entitled to a hearing conducted by the office of administrative hearings (AS 44.64.010) not later than seven days after the effective date of the order, and the person may appeal the suspension after a hearing to a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) The board may suspend a license upon receipt of a certified copy of evidence that a license to practice medicine in another state or territory of the United States or province of Canada has been suspended or revoked. The suspension remains in effect until a hearing can be held by the board.
(f) The board shall be consistent in the application of disciplinary sanctions. A significant departure from earlier decisions of the board involving similar situations must be explained in findings of fact or orders made by the board.
