Former Highline employee loses state certification
The state Department of Health has suspended the heath care credentials for a former Highline Public Schools employee who was sentenced to prison for conducting medical exams on students without a license. Jayson W. Boehm, 37, was sentenced to 13 months in June after pleading guilty to four counts of unlicensed practice of medicine, forgery and first-degree theft. The state Department of Health said Boehm conducted physical exams on more than two-dozen male and female student athletes. He also served as a substitute stadium manager for Highline's Memorial Field. Boehm was neither a licensed physician nor a physician's assistant. Boehm also falsified physical exam forms to make it appear a licensed physician performed the exams and charged the students $5 per exam. The district fired Boehm after learning about the allegations.
