36-4-1. Board of examiners--Appointment and terms of members--Vacancies. The State Board of Medical and Osteopathic Examiners, hereinafter called the Board of Examiners, consists of nine members to be appointed by the Governor for terms of three years. No member may serve more than three consecutive full terms. However, appointment to an unexpired term is not considered a full term for this purpose. Each member shall hold office until a successor is appointed and qualified. Any vacancy on the board shall be filled by appointment by the Governor. The board shall at all times include six doctors of medicine and one doctor of osteopathy. The Governor may stagger terms to enable the board to have different terms expire each year. Any member appointed to the board prior to July 1, 2005, shall serve the five-year term to which the member was originally appointed. Any member appointed to the board after July 1, 2005, shall serve a three-year term.
