What Happened
The Maryland Board of Physicians took reciprocal action based on a finding by the Oregon Medical Board that a physician had substance abuse issues and diverted controlled dangerous substances (CDS) from his workplace for personal use.
The Maryland Board reprimanded the physician and suspended his license until it is reactivated by the Oregon Medical Board.
What the Record Shows
Reprimand; suspension until the physician's license is activated by the Oregon Medical Board
Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Diverted CDS from his workplace for his personal use amid substance abuse issues. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
