Physician's assistants are medical professionals that assist doctors with their daily rounds and diagnosing and treating patients. They work from a purely clinical standpoint, and do not spend several hours engaging with patients in the same capacities as doctorates of nursing do. However, PAs, as they are often called, have to be licensed in order to practice most of their doctoring skills.
PAs have a lot of difficulty in becoming licensed, usually because of this or that supposedly unmet criteria. Unfounded accusations on their record can also affect their ability to renew their licenses. If either of these apply to you, you could hire a physician assistant license defense attorney for representation. Here is what this type of attorney can help you accomplish.
Remove Unfounded Public Records
Some states require that even cases where you were found innocent or not guilty of accusations have to remain on your public record. This always seems to impact your professional life as well. If you have tried repeatedly to become licensed or renew your old PA license, and something of this sort is on your public record, your lawyer can help you get it removed. Once it is either hidden from public eyes or expunged from your record entirely (and only a judge can do that), then you can attempt to apply for your license again. It should go through, but if it does not, your lawyer can assist you with this problem, too.
Correcting Incorrect Reporting Information
When you have met all criteria required by the state licensing board, but the state licensing board says that you are still missing something, get a lawyer involved. Someone, somewhere in the chain of command is losing some of your documentation, and it is costing you a career. Getting a lawyer involved ensures that all of your documentation is filed and complete, and that the state licensing board cannot argue that it was not.
Your lawyer has the hard copies to prove it, as well as the communique that was faxed with the documents to the state licensing board. Then the licensing board cannot refuse your application for a PA license, and they will have to grant it or provide suitable and legal reasons why they still cannot grant the license. Any further headaches in this department can be pursued in the form of a defense lawsuit in open court, and you would likely win.
