RE: Dr. Carl E. Bosley, Jacksonville, N. C. -- Dr. Bosley, an osteopathic physician,appeared to discuss with the Board;their rules and regulations regarding licensingof doctors of osteopathy, and the North Carolina General Statutes in that regard.The Board advised Dr. Bosley that the North Carolina Board of Medical Examinersdid not and had never recognized the examination of the National Board of Examinersfor Osteopathic Physician and Surgeons, although they had requested a copy of thatexamination for their review, which had not yet been received. Dr. Bosley was alsoadvised by the Board that his one y'ear of training in the Pontiac OsteopathicHospital in Pontiac, Michigan was not a training program that is approved by theBoard as meeting the requirements for satisfactory completion of one year ofpost-graduate training.

He was advised that upon satisfac'tory completion of credentials, he would be eli-gible to take the FLEX examination in this state, and once he had completed oneyear of postgraduate training in a Board-approved program, if he passed FLEX, hewould be eligible for licensure in North Carolina. It was stressed to Dr. Bosleythat at present this was the only method of licensure for him in North Carolina.

Dr. Bosley said this was a severe problem for him since he did not want to repeata year of postgraduate training, and that he would look into the question of licensurein other states for osteopathic physicians and would then make his decision. He

stated he was not pursuing this as much personally for himself as he was hoping"to open the door so that if any other osteopathic physicians wanted to come in,maybe some things could be worked out so that it would be possible for them. "Dr. Bosley thanked the Board for discussing this situation with him, and said hewould be in touch with the Board at a later date.
