UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF MEDICINE-PRACTICING WITHOUT A LICENSE WHILE REPRESENTING ONESELF AS BEING LICENSED. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with the unauthorized practice of
medicine.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the state must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant was not duly [licensed] (and) [registered]
to practice medicine in this State;
Second, that the defendant practiced [medicine] [surgery]1 in this
State;
And Third, that the defendant falsely represented [himself]
[herself] in a manner as being [licensed] (and) [registered] in this State.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant was not duly [licensed] (and)
[registered] to practice medicine in this State, that the defendant
practiced [medicine] [surgery] in this State, and that the defendant
falsely represented [himself] [herself] in a manner as being [licensed]
(and) [registered] in this State, it would be your duty to return a verdict
of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or
more of these things, then it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
guilty.
