Dear Doctors:

This is a legal notice to inform you that, there has been a new law
enacted in Kansas, which applies to every individual in the professione
This enactment is known as the Osteopathic Re-registration Lawe

The Re-registration idea is not a new one. Many of the various boards
of Kansas have this legal requirement; such as the Medical, Dental, Chiro-
practic, Barber and Beauty operatorse All require an annual re-registration
with a feee For the past several years other states have had such legal
requirements for the osteopathic profession. Missouri, our next door
neighbor, has had a law similar to our own.

The Kansas law has two important features that may not be entirely
clear as to their direct effect upon the individual osteopathic physician
and surgeone

The first feature of the law is, that every osteopathic physician
holding a Kansas license to practice osteopathy, is required to re-register
on, or before July 1, 1937, and each succeeding year thereafter, with an

annual fee of Five dollars ($5.00).

The second feature of the law is, that every osteopathic physician
holding a Kansas license to practice osteopathy and surgery, is required
on or before July 1, 1938, to furnish evidence of having taken at least two
days of post-graduate work, such as the annual convention of the Kansas
State Osteopathic Association, the convention of the American Osteopathic
Association, post-graduate or special courses that are outstanding.

 

The administration of this law was placed in the hands of the Kansas
State Board of Osteopathic Examination and Registration.

The annual re-registration must be made with the Secretary of the
Boarde Upon receipt of the fee, he will mail you a certificate of re-reg-
istratione Enclosed with this certificate will be a card, which must be
properly signed and filled in to show that the required post-graduate work
has been completed before your re-registration July 1, 1958-6

Fraternally,
