The state requires that a doctor confirms you’re qualifying condition and completes a form call the “Attending Physician Statement”.
An “attending physician” means a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) licensed under ORS chapter 677 (OAR 333-008-0010(3). MDs and DOs are the physicians licensed under this chapter. The law also specifies that a physician must be licensed in Oregon. The OMMP verifies with the Board of Medical Examiners that each patient’s attending physician has a valid license to practice medicine in Oregon and has no disqualifying restrictions.
