A physician whose licensure has been restricted, suspended or revoked under Sections 73-25-51 through 73-25-67, voluntarily or by action of the board, shall have a right, at reasonable intervals, to petition for reinstatement of his license and to demonstrate that he can resume the competent practice of medicine with reasonable skill and safety to patients. Such petition shall be made in writing and on a form prescribed by the board. Action of the board on such petition shall be initiated by referral to and examination by the examining committee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 73-25-55 and 73-25-57. The board may, upon written recommendation of the examining committee, restore the licensure of the physician on a general or limited basis or institute a proceeding pursuant to Section 73-25-63 for the determination of the fitness of the physician to resume his practice.
