Syllabus

Statute authorizes the medical board to compel a doctor to undergo evaluation \if\ the board has \reason to believe\ the doctor's ability to practice is impaired by drugs, and the law also provides that a doctor's failure to submit to such examination is an admission of impairment. The common pleas court erred in concluding that the board's order for an examination was not reviewable at any stage through the administrative hearing process. Cause reversed and remanded to the common pleas court with instructions for remand to the board for further proceedings.
