North Dakota advertising rules for med spas

Advertising rules in North Dakota

Advertising reaches a North Dakota physician through the disciplinary grounds. Three of the grounds in 43-17-31(1) bear on marketing: advertising for the practice of medicine in an untrue or deceptive manner; making false or misleading statements about the physician’s skill or the efficacy of any medicine; and practicing medicine under a false or assumed name. These claims establish those three grounds; they do not establish any disclosure, testimonial or before-and-after photography requirement.
