All residents and health care professionals who have been HARMED by ADA violations and the ABUSE of power from residency programs, licensing boards, and PHPs NEED to know about this new development!
Three US Senators recently wrote to the DOJ, demanding investigations of state medical boards and ADA violations (specifically medical licensing questions about mental health/substance abuse), PHP corruption, residencies and lack of oversight.
In summary, the senators say, "there's something going on with state medical boards, their ADA violations are harming physicians beyond simply the licensure questions. We are going to get to the bottom of it and the DOJ needs to answer some specific questions ...."

This is HUGE!!!!
Those who have been harmed here is your chance to have a voice! I would like to encourage you to first, write a letter detailing the ADA violations you experienced and how they negatively impacted your career and wellbeing, then submit the letter to your own state senators. Let's increase awareness of resident abuse and help create policy change!
Share this with any colleagues, family members and friends who have experienced or witnessed these injustices.
