1.        Suspending, revoking, surrendering, or canceling the physician’s license;

2.        Placing the physician’s license on inactive status;

3.        Failing to timely renew the physician’s license; or

4.        Restricting the physician’s ability to prescribe or adminis- ter medication, including loss or expiration of the physi- cian’s Drug Enforcement Administration Certificate of Registration.
