without significant alteration to the semester calendar.
2. Closure extending beyond one week (or in situations where classes are cancelled on the same
days/evenings over multiple weeks) – the College may extend the length of the semester. Depending on
the timing of the closure, scheduled breaks, end of semester dates, and/or the processing of final grades
might be impacted.

FROM: Shirley A. Devaris RN, JD Director of Legislation TO: The Board DATE: December 14, 2016 IN RE: Request to Rescind ABoardpproval for Change to COMAR 10.27.25.05D. (3) __________________________________________________ The Board, at its May 25, 2016 meeting, approved making a change to the Cosmetic procedure regulations that would allow a prescriber to delegate cosmetic procedure services to a nurse when the prescriber was not physically present. Existing regulations require the prescriber to be immediately available and physically present for any procedure. The Board of Physicians was asked to consider this proposed change. Board of Physician regulation COMAR 10.32.09.05 A.(5) specifically requires a physician to provide on-site supervision whenever a non-physician (other than a Physician’s Assistant) is performing cosmetic medical procedures or using cosmetic medical devices. The Board of Physicians declined to change its regulation based in part on the problem of disciplining individuals not regulated by the Board of Physicians. The Board first made this decision in the absence of the Physician seeking the change and again heard the appeal when the Physician appeared before the Board later that morning. In both instances the Board declined to change its regulation. Changing the Board of Nursing regulation to not require the prescriber’s on-site presence will create a conflict for the nurse and the Board. For this reason the Board is respectfully asked to rescind its decision to change COMAR 10.27.05.05 D. (3).
