Accusations of, or behaviors indicating, substance abuse or mental health problems can result in a practitioner being referred to PRN Florida. These accusations come from various sources — among them, employers, hospitals, competitors, or graduate medical education program supervisors.
Occasionally, complaints against practitioners come from disgruntled family members, terminated employees, or former patients looking for some form of retribution.
Impaired practitioners who realize they need help may also self-refer to PRN.
If a practitioner answers “yes” to questions on his/her license application indicating a possible impairment issue, the licensing board will frequently refer that practitioner to PRN Florida for evaluation and, if needed, a contract.
It is crucial that you fully understand the implications that a PRN referral can have on your professional license(s) and career. If you are referred to PRN, you should contact a Florida healthcare attorney at Chapman Law Group before you contact PRN Florida to schedule an evaluation.
