Civil administrative penalties can be administered for misconduct. Which of the following is another form of discipline listed?

• A. Additional CME
• B. Practice under supervision for a period of time
• C. Sentenced to drug/alcohol rehab
• D. License revocation

Answer: (A)

Additional CME is a remediation-focused sanction used by licensing boards to address misconduct by enhancing the practitioner’s knowledge and ensuring ongoing competence. It allows the license holder to continue practicing, but only after completing extra education credits on relevant topics, which helps prevent recurrence of the issue. This approach is less invasive than removing licensure and aligns with the goal of protecting the public while promoting professional improvement.

The other options represent different kinds of disciplinary actions or external mandates that aren’t the typical civil administrative penalty described: supervised practice implies ongoing oversight or probation; license revocation removes the license entirely; rehab (often court-ordered) involves treatment outside the standard disciplinary framework.
