Historically, licensees with an illness could not only be subject to disciplinary action but their illness became public information as a result of the disciplinary process.
New proposed rules attempt to create a non-disciplinary, confidential monitoring program for licensees with mental or physical illnesses. With the current rules as they are, illnesses could be made public information. The possibly stigmatic peril of public disciplinary action and disclosure has led to licensees hiding or ignoring their conditions instead of seeking treatment. This white paper reviews the proposed rules which try to focus on these circumstances.
