Residency Fellowship Discipline
Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C. has extensive experience when it comes to representing healthcare providers that have been disciplined by their residency or fellowship programs. We understand that residency and fellowship programs are vital to the start of a provider’s career, and therefore any interruption in such program, whether it be probation, suspension, termination or non-renewal, may have a detrimental effect on a provider’s future practice, employment opportunities and professional credentialing efforts.
Our Legal Services
Our attorneys have many years of experience representing healthcare providers who have been non-renewed, placed on probation, suspended or terminated from their residency or fellowship program, or whose participation in such program is generally placed at risk. Depending on your employer’s applicable Medical Staff Bylaws and any other related credentialing materials, including but not limited to any manuals, handbooks, policies and/or procedures in place, you may be entitled to due process, which would afford you the opportunity to grieve the disciplinary action brought against you. Again, depending on your employer, this grievance procedure may include a written submission on why the provider disagrees with the disciplinary action, or an evidentiary hearing challenging same. Whatever the procedure available is, the attorneys at Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C. will be able to provide guidance in navigating this process with you.
