Oregon advertising rules for med spas

Advertising rules in Oregon

Oregon defines unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, for a person licensed to practice medicine or podiatry, as conduct unbecoming such a licensee or detrimental to the best interests of the public — including any conduct or practice contrary to the recognized standards of ethics of the medical or podiatric profession, or which does or might constitute a danger to a patient or the public. Knowingly making a false statement material to the right to practice medicine or to obtain a license is separately prohibited. Neither provision is an advertising rule by its terms; how either applies to a particular marketing claim is a judgment for the board.

• Unprofessional or dishonorable conduct means conduct unbecoming a person licensed to practice medicine or podiatry, or detrimental to the best interests of the public, and includes any conduct or practice contrary to recognized standards of ethics of the medical or podiatric profession or any conduct or practice which does or might constitute a danger to the health or safety of a patient or the public.
