contained in the application, an applicant for a license to practice as a physician <br>assistant is eligible therefor under subsections (1) and (2) of KRS 311.844, the <br>executive director may issue to the applicant, on behalf of the board, a temporary <br>license which shall entitle the holder to practice as a physician assistant for a <br>maximum of six (6) months from the date of issuance unless the temporary license <br>is canceled by the executive director, who may cancel it at any time, without a <br>hearing, for reasons deemed sufficient with appropriate consultation with the <br>president, and who shall cancel it immediately upon direction by the board or upon <br>the board's denial of the holder's application for a regular license.
