The May episode of NCMB's podcast, MedBoard Matters, focuses on the difficult and delicate topic of dismissing patients from a medical practice. NCMB receives calls from patients on a weekly basis indicating that a practice has released them from care without providing appropriate refill prescriptions or fulfilling other professional obligations to patients.
The podcast reviews NCMB's position on a clinician's professional obligations when ending the clinician-patient relationship and discusses common missteps that can result in frustration, confusion, patient harm or even an investigation into possible patient abandonment.
