Kansas Physicians – Petitioning for Reinstatement of Your License to Practice Medicine

Losing your license to practice medicine in the state of Kansas is undoubtedly one of the most devastating things that can happen in your lifetime.  At the time you lose your license, you may not even be thinking of how to get your license back in the future, as many physicians simply lose their license without ever attempting to get the license back.  Many Kansas physicians may not even be aware that reinstatement is a real possibility.  As such, if you would like to seek reinstatement of your Kansas medical license, you may do so by following the steps required by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts and Kansas state law.

Kansas Requirements for Reinstating Your Medical License

Under Kansas law, any professional whose license has been revoked may petition for reinstatement of his or her professional license at least three years after the effective date of your license revocation.  While three years may seem like a long time, it is short enough that you may see light at the end of the tunnel, especially if you believe you have a strong case for reinstatement of your medical license.  When determining whether or not to accept your petition and reinstate your medical license, the Kansas Board of Healing Arts will consider factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • The nature and severity of the conduct that gave rise to the revocation of your medical license in the first place;
  • Whether or not you have been sufficiently rehabilitated such that you would not commit the same acts that led to revocation of your medical license in the first place;
  • Affidavits of support from colleagues and friends who can attest to your moral and ethical character as a Kansas physician, supporting the reasons why your medical license should be reinstated; and
  • Whether or not the Kansas Board of Healing Arts revoked your professional license without sufficient evidence the first time, even though you may have appealed the Board’s decision that subsequently denied.

As the petitioner seeking reinstatement of your Kansas medical license, you have the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that you have had sufficient rehabilitation to justify the reinstatement of your medical license.  In order to ensure that you have all of the evidence necessary to obtain reinstatement, you should consider speaking with a skilled Kansas Professional License Defense Attorney who will advocate on your behalf as you strive to work in the medical field once again.
