Medical License Revocation: The Equivalent of Disbarment for Doctors
The medical profession’s equivalent of disbarment is revocation of the medical license. Grounds include:
- Gross negligence / malpractice
- Substance abuse impairing practice
- Fraud (billing, credentials)
- Criminal conviction related to practice
- Sexual misconduct with patients
- Repeated ethical violations
Revocation terminates the legal right to practice medicine. Reinstatement is rare, requires extensive rehabilitation, and is granted only by the state medical board after rigorous review.
