Depending on the issues you may be having, there are several different approaches one can take in dealing with the Professional Licensing Bureau and the Board regarding your medical license.

But no matter what stage you’re in, there are certain steps you can take to improve your interactions.

First, make sure all your documents are in order. When dealing with permits, chances are that whatever the reason, they will need proof and written records. Depending on the nature of your interaction, you may need the following full records:

  • continuing education credit,
  • community service/volunteering
  • Letter of recommendation,
  • Evidence of various training related to human trafficking, opioids, etc.,
  • Education,
  • and much more.

Second, know the laws that apply. Various laws will likely apply to your situation and it is important that you understand those laws. The law will impose certain conditions.

Third, mark your i and cross your t. Make sure that you follow the required format for all submissions. Double check that there are no missing notes and that all your explanations are in order. Know what needs to be notarized, and make sure your notary follows the required format. It’s a good idea to have a third party review your document before submitting it.

Fourth, follow up. If you can find a contact, following up on your paperwork can ensure that you have submitted all requirements accurately and have not missed any supporting information.

Finally, know when to call in the experts. When problems with your medical license arise, it’s important that you take them seriously.
