PHYSICAL THERAPISTS CHARGED WITH DUI

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS FACING DUI CHARGES

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

If you are a Physical Therapist, or a Physical Therapy Assistant, and have received a letter from the Physical Therapy Board of California (PTBC), which is under the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), informing you that it is contemplating an adverse action against your license by way of an Inquiry Letter, you need an experienced professional licensing defense attorney to avoid a formal Accusation and/or revocation of your license.

The purpose of physical therapists and physical therapist assistant licensure in the State of California is to protect the public’s health, safety and welfare from the incompetent and unprofessional practice of physical therapy.  When criminal charges are alleged and there is an immediate need to protect the public, application of Penal Code 23 shall be sought. In addition, if the alleged conduct poses an immediate threat to public safety an Interim Suspension Order shall be sought.
