July 2009 - Proper coloration of a rod of Aesculapius:

We are defining a proper rod of Aesculapius as having a brown wood staff and a vert serpent. We remind the College that the restriction of the rod of Aesculapius (a staff entwined of a snake) to those with modern medical credentials was lifted on the Cover Letter to the October 1995 LoAR.

"We believe that the symbol of the Red Crescent should be protected to the same extent as the symbol of the Red Cross is protected." [2006 LoAR]

July 2006 - protection of Red Cross:

"Red Cross. Restricted charge" "The use of multiple gules crosses couped may be returned on a case-by-case basis if their placement or usage appears too evocative of the symbol of the Red Cross." [2006 LoAR]

October 1995 - lifting restrictions on caduceus, etc.:

"the proposal lifting the restriction of the use of the caduceus, rod of Aesculapius, and bowl of Hygeia to those with medical credentials is affirmed.
