What conditions must be met for a license to be reinstated after being revoked for mental or physical illness?

The conditions for reinstating a revoked license due to mental or physical illness are designed to ensure that the individual is fit to practice safely. Presentation of competent evidence of control of the condition is crucial because it demonstrates that the licensee has effectively managed or resolved the underlying health issues that led to the revocation. This requirement is not just a procedural formality; it is fundamentally about assuring the public and the regulatory board that the practitioner is capable of performing their duties without impairment.

Having competent evidence typically involves assessments from qualified healthcare professionals, showing that the licensee no longer poses a risk to themselves or others in their professional capacity. This aligns with the board’s mandate to protect the public while also giving individuals a fair opportunity to return to their profession once they have proven their ability to do so safely.
