An affirmative vote of not fewer than six members of the board is necessary for the board to determine that an applicant meets the requirements for a license.

If the applicant holds a medical degree other than the degree of doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine, the license shall indicate that the applicant is authorized to practice medicine and surgery pursuant to the laws of this state. Each license issued by the board shall be signed by its president and secretary, and attested by its seal.
