Summary

The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure has issued a Consent Order with John Keith McKelvey, M.D., regarding his application for permanent medical licensure. The order grants licensure but restricts his practice to occupational medicine due to prior limitations in other jurisdictions related to his medical history.

What changed

The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure has entered into a Consent Order with John Keith McKelvey, M.D., concerning his application for a permanent medical license. The order, authorized by state statutes, grants the application but imposes a significant restriction: Dr. McKelvey's license is limited solely to the practice of occupational medicine. This limitation stems from a prior consent order in Virginia in 2015, related to a 2011 meningitis infection that impacts his ability to practice pediatric anesthesiology, and similar agreements in West Virginia and Kentucky. The current order aims to avoid a formal show-cause hearing.

This Consent Order requires Dr. McKelvey to immediately notify the Board of any future limitations placed on his practice in other jurisdictions. If approved by the Board, this order will become a public record. Should Dr. McKelvey violate any terms, the Board reserves the right to revoke or suspend his license after an evidentiary hearing. Regulated entities, particularly healthcare providers applying for licensure in Mississippi, should note the importance of full disclosure and adherence to any restrictions imposed by licensing boards, as violations can lead to severe disciplinary actions, including license revocation.

What to do next

  1. Review the terms of the Consent Order for John Keith McKelvey, M.D.
  2. Ensure Dr. McKelvey adheres to the practice limitations (occupational medicine only).
  3. Monitor for any notifications from Dr. McKelvey regarding limitations in other jurisdictions.

Penalties

Revocation or suspension of medical license, or other disciplinary action deemed necessary by the Board, upon violation of the Consent Order.
