1. If the Board or its investigative committee has reason to believe that the conduct of any homeopathic physician has raised a reasonable question as to his or her competence to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to patients, it may order the homeopathic physician to undergo:
(a) A mental or physical examination; or
(b) An examination of his or her competence to practice homeopathic medicine,
by physicians or others designated by the Board to assist the Board in determining the fitness of the homeopathic physician to practice homeopathic medicine.
2. For the purposes of this section:
(a) Every homeopathic physician who applies for a license or is licensed under this chapter shall be deemed to have given consent to submit to a mental or physical examination or an examination of his or her competence to practice homeopathic medicine when directed to do so in writing by the Board or an investigative committee of the Board.
(b) The testimony or reports of the examining physicians are not privileged communications.
3. Except in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Board, the failure of a homeopathic physician licensed under this chapter to submit to an examination when directed as provided in this section constitutes an admission of the charges against the homeopathic physician.
