How Doctors Lose Their Licenses
A physician can lose his or her license in countless ways. Commonly, they are charged with incompetence, criminal convictions, gross negligence, substance abuse, fraudulent practice, and immoral conduct. States regulate all licensure issues. In New York, where we work, the New York Education Law controls physicians’ licensure and professional discipline, administered by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct. A doctor accused of misconduct could lose his medical license by either surrendering it or having the licensing agency revoke it. No matter how the physician lost his or her license, he or she must put in an application for license reinstatement before he or she can regain his license — which is what we help with.

License Suspension Versus License Revocation
Suspension removes medical license privileges temporarily — anywhere between a week to a year. You may have to surrender your actual physical license to the state board office , and you cannot legally practice your vocation until after the suspension is lifted or terminated and your license returned.

Though your license is automatically restored to you after the suspension is over, license revocation lasts indefinitely — until certain conditions such as paying fines, completing drug screening, and obtaining insurance are fulfilled.

Most professionals in the healthcare industry can practice only when they have a license. Doctors and nurses are required to meet certain standards to receive a license. Failure to meet industry standards can result in the revocation or suspension of your medical practice license by your state board. The purpose of a medical license revocation or suspension is not to punish the professional but to protect the public. State boards are required to maintain public health and that is why they have been given the authority to revoke and suspend medical licenses.

Medical Board
Each state in the U.S. has a medical board that has been given the mandate to grant or revoke medical licenses to professionals in the healthcare industry. When complaints are filed against certain medical professionals, the board will review the details of the case and decide necessary steps to take including issuing a warning and revoking or suspending the license of the medical professional.

Reasons
There are many reasons why professionals can lose their license including incompetence, gross negligence, criminal offences, and immorality. Doctors are likely to lose their medical licenses if they practice medicine beyond the authority of their licenses. State laws set reasons for medical license revocation.

Specificity
Each state sets the actual reasons and circumstances that could lead to medical license revocation. The reasons for medical license suspension or revocation must be specific. Courts and state boards will rule against medical license revocation if the reasons offered for revocation are vague or general and are not supported by more specific reasons. State medical boards have the independence to make rulings on a case-by-case basis.

Defense against Charges
Some of the defenses against medical practice violation include denial of due process, self-incrimination, and violation of equal protection clause. Despite these defenses, state boards can revoke or suspend a doctor’s license in case of negligence and incompetence because the board has a responsibility to protect public health.

Legal Scenario: What Would You Do?

Scenario

A surgeon in Manhattan had her medical license revoked two years ago after the Office of Professional Medical Conduct found she had practiced while impaired. She has since completed a rehabilitation program and wants to apply for reinstatement but is unsure whether enough time has passed or what documentation she needs to present.

What steps do I need to take to get my medical license reinstated in New York after a revocation for impairment?

Attorney's Answer

Under New York Education Law § 6524 and the regulations of the Board for Professional Medical Conduct, you may petition for reinstatement after demonstrating rehabilitation and fitness to practice. You will need to submit a formal application to the New York State Education Department along with evidence of your completed treatment program, ongoing monitoring compliance, and any continuing medical education you have undertaken during the revocation period. The Board will conduct a hearing under 8 NYCRR Part 301 where you must show by a preponderance of evidence that you are capable of practicing medicine safely and competently. Our firm can help you compile the required documentation, prepare you for the hearing, and advocate on your behalf before the Board to give you the strongest possible case for reinstatement.

Difference between Medical License Suspension and License Revocation
A medical license suspension is a temporary removal of medical license privileges, which can last anywhere from a week to a year. If your medical license is suspended, you may be asked to surrender your physical license to the office of the state board. You will not be able to legally practice medicine until the suspension is lifted or suspension period is over and your license restored.

While you will get your license automatically restored once the suspension period ends, license revocation takes effect for an indefinite period until certain conditions such as paying fines, obtaining insurance and completing drug screening are met.
