October 27, 2007 Medical Board of California accusation leads to surrender of San Diego physician's medical license SACRAMENTO - Facing charges of unprofessional conduct before the Medical Board of California, San Diego physician Stephen Gene Kolkow has surrendered his license to practice medicine. The stipulated surrender of his medical license was adopted on October 17, 2007 and became effective on October 24, 2007. In this case, Kolkow had been charged with general unprofessional conduct under Business and Professions Code section 2234 as a result of his admitted sexual abuse of a minor female family member. Kolkow had also been charged under Business and Professions Code section 2236 with having been convicted of crimes substantially related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of a physician and surgeon, and with being subject to mandatory revocation of his medical license under Business and Professions Code section 2232 as a result of his criminal conviction sentence requiring him to register as a sex offender (Penal Code section 290). On August 24, 2005, a total of thirty-six (36) felony criminal charges were filed against Kolkow in San Diego County Superior Court. On August 8, 2006, Kolkow pled guilty to thirteen (13) felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years of age (Penal Code section 288(a)), and one (1) felony count of oral copulation of a person under the age of 14 (Penal Code section 288(a)(c)(1)). On January 29, 2007, Kolkow was sentenced to ten (10) years in state prison, imposition of which was stayed by the court, placed on five (5) years formal probation, ordered to serve 365 days in county jail with credit for 190 days already served, ordered to pay fines and restitution and to register as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code section 290. After Kolkow's arrest and while the criminal case was pending, he had been suspended from the practice of medicine since November 14, 2005, as the result of a Petition for Interim Order of Suspension previously filed by the Office of the Attorney General on behalf of the Executive Director of the Medical Board. _____ and Make AOL Your

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
