Ensuring No Repeat of Misconduct or Mistake in Future Practice

Course Description

Ensuring No Repeat of Misconduct or Mistake in Future Practice (USA) is a CPD course designed to help healthcare professionals recognise why misconduct or errors occur, and to develop robust strategies to prevent recurrence.

U.S. regulators — including state licensing boards, the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), and national associations such as the AMA, ANA, ADA, and APhA — consistently stress that what matters most in disciplinary cases is whether professionals can demonstrate they have learned from the lapse and taken steps to ensure it will not happen again.

This course provides practical tools for identifying risk factors, embedding safeguards, and evidencing sustained change through reflection, remediation, and resilience. Learners will study regulator expectations, case comparisons, and strategies for building habits that make repeat misconduct less likely.
