History: Laws 1933, ch. 117, § 8; 1941 Comp., § 51-808; 1953 Comp., § 67-8-8; Laws 1975, ch. 296, § 7.
Delayed repeals. — Laws 2021, ch. 54, § 49 repealed 61-10-10 NMSA 1978, effective July 1, 2022.
Compiler's notes. — The term "this act," which first appeared in Laws 1955, ch. 42, § 1, strictly construed, probably had reference to the original act relating to osteopathic medicine, Laws 1933, ch. 117, the provisions of which are presently compiled as 61-10-1 [repealed], 61-10-3 to 61-10-6, 61-10-8 to 61-10-18. However, by Laws 1975, ch. 296, § 1, which amended this section by, inter alia, substituting the specific statutory reference for "this act (67-8-1 to 67-8-16)", the legislature probably intended to include the entire article within the term "this act."
Nature of requirements. — Requirements are substantially the same as those in which applicants for license to practice medicine must be examined. 1934 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 34-806.
Am. Jur. 2d, A.L.R. and C.J.S. references. — 61 Am. Jur. 2d Physicians, Surgeons and Other Healers §§ 29, 59, 60.
Constitutionality of statute prescribing conditions of practicing medicine or surgery as affected by question of discrimination against a particular school or method, 16 A.L.R. 709, 37 A.L.R. 680, 42 A.L.R. 1342, 54 A.L.R. 600.
