California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 2 — Healing Arts, Chapter 5 — Medicine, Article 15 — Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon Diversion Evaluation Committee, Section 2367
(a) Each licensee who requests participation in a treatment program shall agree to cooperate with the treatment program designed by the committee and approved by the program manager. The committee shall inform each participant in the program of the procedures followed, the rights and responsibilities of the participant, and the possible results of noncompliance with the program. Any failure to comply with the treatment program may result in termination of participation.
(b) Participation in a program under this article shall not be a defense to any disciplinary action which may be taken by the board. Further, no provision of this article shall preclude the board from commencing disciplinary action against a licensee who is terminated from a program established pursuant to this article.
Notes
Requires a licensee seeking diversion treatment to cooperate with the committee-designed, program-manager-approved program, while requiring the committee to explain procedures, participant rights and duties, and possible consequences of noncompliance. Failure to comply may end participation, and participation is not a defense to discipline or a bar to disciplinary action after termination.
