If you have had your medical license revoked by the New York State Department of Health’s Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) or Office of Professional Discipline (OPD), then you may be curious about the chances of it getting restored. Follow along to find out the possibility of this and how one of the proficient New York physician defense lawyers at Walker Medical Law can help execute this.
What is the probability of getting my medical license restored?
First of all, you will have to wait three years or so before you can even consider getting your medical license restored. So once this third year approaches, you will be able to work on an application to request its potential restoration. Importantly, you should take the following approach when building your application:
- Make sure that your application is properly addressed to the Board of Regents.
- Make sure that your application includes a $750 check to the State Education Department.
- Make sure that your application includes a statement regarding your remorse for the medical malpractice action that caused your medical license revocation.
- Make sure that your application includes evidence that you corrected the medical malpractice action that caused your medical license revocation.
- Make sure that your application includes evidence that you will never again commit the medical malpractice action that caused your medical license revocation.
- Make sure that your application includes evidence that you have been educated on the latest medical developments since your medical license revocation.
- Make sure that your application includes evidence that you participated in volunteer work at the Continued Medical Education program since your medical license revocation, if applicable.
What happens after I apply for the restoration of my medical license?
Once you submit your application with all the proper elements, then the Board of Regents will conduct a hearing. With this hearing, they will determine whether you should have your medical license restored. They will make this determination by asking you questions such as the following:
- What was the medical malpractice action that caused you to get your medical license revoked?
- What will you do to ensure that your medical license does not get revoked again?
- Why do you believe that you deserve to get your medical license restored?
Importantly, you will want to answer these questions with nothing less than the truth. You will not want to appear at your hearing without legal representation from a talented New York physician defense lawyer. We will not only ensure that your application is complete, but that the chances of getting your medical license restored are maximized. So, without further hesitation, give our firm a phone call.
