What sanction can the Board impose after a formal interview?

The Board has the authority to impose probation as a sanction following a formal interview. Probation allows the Board to monitor a practitioner's compliance with specific terms and conditions set forth during the probationary period. This can serve as a corrective measure aimed at guiding the chiropractor toward appropriate practice standards and behaviors without completely revoking their ability to practice.

Probation can be an effective tool for rehabilitation, as it may involve requirements such as additional training, supervision, or periodic reporting to the Board, which can help the practitioner address any deficiencies identified during the interview process. By imposing probation, the Board provides the practitioner with an opportunity to improve while ensuring public safety and professional accountability.

In contrast, sanctions like revocation, suspension, or fines are typically more severe and may be more appropriate for cases involving significant misconduct or repeated violations that warrant a stronger response from the Board. Probation represents a middle ground that emphasizes improvement and compliance rather than outright punishment.
