What Should I Expect During a Medical License Investigation
You are likely wondering what to expect in the face of a professional complaint against you. As with anything else in law, the specifics will vary based on your situation, but there are some general parts of the process you may be able to expect as part of the investigation. The first stage of an investigation is a preliminary screening to determine whether they fall under the scope of the Arizona Medical Board and whether they are credible.
If the board finds the allegations credible, the complaint is assigned to a board investigator who will collect additional information, including additional statements from the individual, witnesses, or other healthcare providers who may have also been involved in the situation. During the investigation, they may contact you to request behavioral health or professional evaluations.
When the investigator collects all of the evidence, they present it to the Staff Investigational Review Committee for recommendations on action. These may include dismissal, disciplinary action, or non-disciplinary action.
