(B) The individual is not concurrently under investigation by the board for a violation of Chapter 4723. of the Revised Code or the rules of the board that does not constitute a practice deficiency;

(C) The supervising member determines that the nature of the individual's identified practice deficiency is such that it may be corrected through remediation;

(E) The individual is otherwise eligible to renew the license or certificate issued by the board; and

(F) If the board has compelled a licensee or certificate holder to submit to a mental or physical examination in accordance with division (G) of section 4723.28 of the Revised Code, the supervising member has determined that the licensee or certificate holder does not have any impairment identified through the examination that would significantly affect cognitive abilities or the ability of the licensee or certificate holder to incorporate learned knowledge and skills into the licensee's or certificate holder's practice.
