"...the statute makes it criminal to represent oneself as being engaged in the practice of medicine when that person is not licensed to practice medicine in the State of Illinois."

The Illinois legislature explicitly decided that conduct
such as defendant's should be illegal in the State of Illinois by
enacting the Illinois Medical Practice Act. The statute reads,
in relevant part, as follows:

"If any person does any of the following and
does not possess a valid license issued under
this Act, that person shall be sentenced as
provided in Section 59: (i) holds himself or
herself out to the public as being engaged in
the diagnosis or treatment of physical or
mental ailments or conditions *** of human
beings; *** or (v) attaches the title Doctor,
Physician, Surgeon, M.D., D.O. or D.C., or
any other word or abbreviation to his or her
name indicating that he or she is engaged in
the treatment of human ailments or conditions
as a business." 225 ILCS 60/49 (West 1992).

The statute does not require that defendant hold herself out as
being licensed to practice medicine in the State of Illinois, as
defendant insists. Rather, the statute makes it criminal to
represent oneself as being engaged in the practice of medicine
when that person is not licensed to practice medicine in the
State of Illinois.
