Read an interesting article about board complaints. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/853911.
"According to a 2009 report[2] about the California board, 1 of every 8 physicians in the state was being reported to the board each year. About one quarter of complaints to the board were investigated, and about one quarter of investigated complaints led to disciplinary proceedings against the physician, the report added."
I had no idea complaints were this common. 1/8 seems like a high number-- I wonder how common it is in psychiatry. Did you guys ever talk about how to handle board complaints in residency?
