DUI and Medical Professions

If you are facing DUI charges, the effects of a conviction may extend far beyond any court-ordered penalties you may be issued. In some instances, those convicted of DUI can experience serious damage to their personal and professional lives. For example, people working in the medical field can suffer serious work-related consequences from a DUI charge or conviction. This can include the loss or suspension of a medical license, preventing the affected professional from practicing medicine and earning a living.

At Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., we understand how serious it can be to lose your medical license and are dedicated to helping those accused of DUI fight these charges. Contact an Arizona DUI defense lawyer today at 602-510-9999 and schedule an initial consultation to discuss your legal options.

Losing Your Professional License

A DUI conviction can severely impact a person’s employment status and may even result in immediate dismissal from a hospital or healthcare clinic. Medical professionals may also lose their licenses and therefore be ineligible for any careers that require this professional license. Some of the most common medical professionals affected by DUI charges and convictions include:

  • Doctors
  • Nurses
  • Surgeons
  • Specialists
  • Dentists
  • Orthodontists

Getting a medical license back can be a very long and troublesome process and in some cases, those convicted of DUI may be unable to return to work in the medical field indefinitely.
