title: Professional medical discipline: an overview.
abstract: The new, current process of professional medical discipline in New York State is effective but cumbersome. The complexities associated with defining and proving professional misconduct together with the necessary due process provisions of the current law result in a time consuming process. There is room for improvement. It is clearly in the interests of the medical profession to have a strong, visible, viable, and effective program of professional medical discipline.
