Statute 65-2801: Purpose.
Recognizing that the practice of the healing arts is a privilege granted
by legislative authority and is not a natural right of individuals, it is
deemed necessary as a matter of policy in the interests of public health,
safety and welfare, to provide laws and provisions covering the granting of
that privilege and its subsequent use, control and regulation to the end
that the public shall be properly protected against unprofessional,
improper, unauthorized and unqualified practice of the healing arts and
from unprofessional conduct by persons licensed to practice under this act.
