ALABAMA REACHES MARKETING FROM BOTH BOARDS. The Board of Cosmetology and Barbering may act against a licensee who ADVERTISES BY MEANS OF KNOWINGLY FALSE OR DECEPTIVE STATEMENTS. The Board of Medical Examiners reaches the related misrepresentation directly: it is a ground for disciplining a physician assistant that the assistant has represented himself or herself, or permitted another to represent him or her, as a physician.
