The state medical board shall conduct examinations of applicants for certification to practice the limited branches of medicine of massage therapy and cosmetic therapy. The examinations shall be conducted under rules adopted by the board and at such times and places as the board may determine. The fee for either examination is two hundred fifty dollars. For the purpose of conducting examinations, the board may call to its aid any person of established reputation and known ability in the limited branch of medicine for which the examination is being held. A person called to assist in an examination shall be reimbursed for the person’s services. Reimbursement shall be not more than one hundred dollars per day and an amount fixed and allowed by the board for the person’s actual and necessary expenses. Each examination shall be given in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, bacteriology, pathology, hygiene, diagnosis, and any other subjects appropriate to the limited branch of medicine for which certification is requested as the board may require, except that applicants for certificates to practice massage therapy shall not be examined in pathology. If an applicant fails an examination more than twice, in whole or in part, the board may require that the applicant obtain additional training as a condition of being eligible for further examination.
