OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Medical doctors allowed to form association even with different specialities.

- Ga. L. 1961, p. 404 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 14-10-3 and14-10-5) allow medical doctors to form an association even where they are specialists in different areas of the medical profession such as pediatrics, gynecology, general practice, etc., since all the doctors are practicing medicine and are governed by one board of medical examiners; on the other hand, they could not be joined in a professional association by a dentist, for example, or some member of an entirely different profession. 1963-65 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 791.
