If I’m an Alternative Healthcare Practitioner and I’m Charged with a Crime, is my Career Over?

If you are an Alternative Healthcare Practitioner in Minnesota and I’m Charged with a Crime, is my Career Over?, you have spent years of your life to acquire your professional license. Without this license, you simply don’t have the ability to work in your profession. A criminal conviction, even relatively low level offenses like domestic assaults and drug crimes can be catastrophic and ultimately destroy everything that you have worked for. You could face suspension or even worse, revocation.

Some criminal convictions mean that your healthcare career is over.

Jack Rice and his team has helped countless professionals and can help you too. Looking at the controlling Board as well as some of the applicable Minnesota statutes is a good place to start.
