"...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. state.il.us
