What action should a licensee take if they receive a disciplinary order from the Board?

Licensees receiving a disciplinary order from the Board are required to adopt the corrective measures as specified in the order. This is critical for compliance with state regulations and ensures that the licensee addresses any issues that may have led to the disciplinary action. Taking the corrective measures demonstrates a commitment to professional standards and a willingness to rectify any problems, which may also be considered favorably in future evaluations by the Board.

While consulting a lawyer can be a prudent step in some situations, the primary obligation remains to comply with the order. Ignoring the order could lead to further penalties or even the suspension or revocation of the license. On the other hand, appealing the decision may also be an option, but it should not replace immediate compliance with the disciplinary measures unless there are specific grounds for an appeal. Overall, adopting the corrective measures as ordered is the most appropriate and responsible response to a disciplinary order.
