Good Morning, Megan:
It sounds like you spent a lot of time on this issue. One can't ask for more. Seriously, you may have found all there is to
find, no matter what he says.
He'll have to go before the board, that's all there's to it.
The board meeting is June 13 th • If you find anything else on him, I would appreciate a note to bring me up-to-date.
Thanks again for all of your efforts on behalf of Dr. Staley.
Ina

Hi Ina,
Please don't feel like you are bothering me with this issue -the issue itself is bothersome to me, too! I'm sorry I didn't
respond right away, but I'm still working on it and usually don't like to report back until I have all the facts. At this rate
that may take some time. I'm really frustrated that we weren't able to find his OK scores, and have asked Jessica if she
can think of anything else we might be able to look into.
We've confirmed with MD and PA that he was licensed in their states based on reciprocity from NM. PA went so far as to
say that his license verification from NM showed he was "licensed there following a successful examination in February
of 1993." I previously attributed this to the exam he took two months prior to that (his 1992 CO scores), but I have
emailed Fran withe NM board to verify which specific scores they used. Both PA and MD acknowledged that they had
no record of OK exams.
Our records show that we did research in 2007 on this issue and at that time were unable to confirm scores with OK. It's
possible they didn't maintain records if he was never licensed there. He was born in OK and attended Oklahoma State
University so it's definitely a possibility he tested there, but unless he sought licensure they may not have kept scores for
him. I went back through our score records for OK from 1979-1984 (FYI, Dr. Staley graduated from OSU in 1982 and
believes he took the exam after graduation). 1979-1980 do not have rosters with names, so if the OK board has no
record of his exam and the dr is unable to supply a candidate ID number, those scores could not be verified. It's unlikely
he took the exams that early, however, since he graduated in 1982. The rosters from 1981-1984 all have named rosters
for the NBE, and he is not on any of them, under any combination/misspelling of his names. Exams after 1984 are stored
in our database, which turns up no information for Dr. Staley (in any state, under a variety of spellings) except for the CO
exams. I still plan to follow up with OK to see what their record keeping was like in 1982 and if they can shed any new
light on this.
