If a chiropractor has a Florida license but practices in Ohio, what must they do if Ohio takes disciplinary action against them?

Report it to the Florida Board
Ignore the action
Consult an attorney
Inform the FL DPR

The correct answer is: Inform the FL DPR

When a chiropractor with a Florida license practices in Ohio and faces disciplinary action from Ohio's regulatory body, it is important for them to inform the Florida Department of Health's Division of Medical Quality Assurance (DPR). This obligation arises because all licensed healthcare professionals must report any disciplinary actions taken against them, regardless of where the action occurs. This ensures that their home state licensing board is aware of any issues that could affect the chiropractor's professional standing or practice qualifications. Notifying the Florida DPR allows for appropriate actions to be taken in compliance with Florida regulations. The act of informing the board demonstrates professionalism and accountability, and it can also provide an opportunity for the chiropractor to address any potential ramifications on their Florida license. Ignoring the action or failing to report it may lead to additional disciplinary actions in Florida, potentially jeopardizing their ability to practice. Consulting an attorney can be a helpful step in understanding one's rights and navigating the disciplinary process; however, it does not replace the obligation to inform the Florida DPR.
