Professional Licensure

Health care professionals, such as physicians and nurses, are licensed by state regulatory boards, which, pursuant to statutory authority, promulgate rules setting forth: education, training and licensure requirements; the scope and standards of professional practice; and the bases for limiting, suspending and revoking a professional license. Occasionally, a licensed health care professional becomes involved in an administrative investigation or disciplinary matter with the professional licensing board. This may be the result of a patient or client complaint or a peer review action. The inquiry may involve serious issues of personal character or behavior, professional competence or both. With a license, reputation and livelihood at stake, sound legal advice is essential to protect the professional's interests and achieve the best outcome.
