Shooting First and asking Questions Later: How A Health Care Practitioner can Lose their License Immediately on the Spot

Overview:

Today's diverse, fast-changing, multidisciplinary health care environment involves many health care professionals who work together for the common goal of the patient. This includes physicians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, and others.

All these health care practitioners obtained an education, passed applicable examinations, completed professional training, and hold a license to practice their chosen profession. The license to practice is issued by the state.

Thereafter, the state's authority and power over the practitioner often presents challenges to that professional that are not easy to navigate. State agencies routinely handle, investigate, and dismiss - or prosecute - alleged violations of law that can be career ending for the practitioner if pursued. But that process takes time with many steps necessary for due process of law.

One of the most feared actions the state may take is to issue an immediate, temporary suspension of a health care practitioner's professional license in order to prevent an alleged immediate harm to the public. Unlike the usual administrative process that takes time, once issued, the practitioner is left with an uncertain process to challenge the state action - all the while he or she is stopped from practicing.

Learn to identify the legal authority for this drastic state action. Seek to understand and defend against such state actions because they may result in ruinous practice and career consequences for the health care professional.

This program offers an objective, thorough review of the powers of the state over an individual health care practitioner to take immediate action to stop the practice of the professional. This program also reviews defenses with practice tips to defend successfully such immediate state action. Otherwise, the health care practitioner likely suffers a fatal blow to his or her professional practice and career.
