The Medical Practice Act defines unprofessional conduct in each
state.
Although laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, some
examples of unprofessional conduct include:
- physical abuse of
a patient
- inadequate record keeping
- not recognizing or acting on common
symptoms
- prescribing drugs in excessive amounts without legitimate
reason
- impaired ability to practice due to addiction, or
physical or mental illness
- failing to meet continuing medical
education requirements
- performing duties beyond the scope
of a license
- dishonesty
- conviction of a felony
- delegating the practice of medicine
to an unlicensed individual
Minor disagreements do not fall under misconduct, nor does
poor customer service.
