I KNOW WHAT A LICENSE IS, BUT WHAT DOES “DISCIPLINE” MEAN WITH REGARD TO DOCTORS, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, PRACTITIONERS OF RESPIRATORY CARE AND PERFUSIONISTS?
If a doctor, physician assistant, practitioner of respiratory care or perfusionist breaks the law under the Nevada Medical Practice Act (chapter 630 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and Nevada Administrative Code), the Board can investigate and file charges against him or her. If the charges are proven, the Board can revoke the license of the doctor, physician assistant, practitioner of respiratory care or perfusionist, put him or her on probation, or impose other sanctions against him or her that are authorized by the Nevada Medical Practice Act.
