David M. Odom, M.d., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Division of Corporations, Business & Professional Licensing…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s affirmation of the Medical Board’s revocation of Dr. Odom’s medical license, holding that the Board’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence and violated statutory procedural requirements. The Court affirmed that the substantial‑evidence standard governs factual findings and that the Board abused its discretion in imposing revocation rather than a lesser sanction.
