In a recent medical board discipline case against a Northern California doctor, a California Appellate Court held that a DUI / Drunk Driving conviction is not needed to impose professional discipline on medical doctors.
Merely being arrested for DUI / Drunk Driving can form the basis for medical discipline.
It is important to note that in the Northern California case, the disciplined doctor had multiple DUI / Drunk Driving arrests that did not result in convictions.
While the medical discipline case applies to doctors, this may set a precedent for other professionals licensed by the State of California as well.
