160.998 Licensure Based on Professional Standards:
It is the position of the Medical Society of the State of New York that physician licensure be based solely upon professional standards, including training, education, ability, competence and moral fitness. The Society vigorously opposes any attempts to establish nonprofessional standards, such as acceptance of third-party payment, as a condition of medical licensure.
