If a licensed chiropractor in Nevada willingly surrenders their license, what happens to any filed cases?

When a licensed chiropractor in Nevada willingly surrenders their license, the appropriate outcome for any filed cases is that those cases remain open until an outcome is decided. This means that despite the surrender of the license, the regulatory process does not automatically cease. The investigation and any pending actions will continue based on the merits of the cases filed prior to the license surrender.

This process is important for maintaining professional standards, ensuring accountability, and protecting the public. Cases that involve potential misconduct or malpractice must be resolved even if the individual is no longer licensed to practice. Thus, the regulatory body or board is obligated to complete its investigative duties to ensure that all aspects of the filed cases are adequately addressed before any final closure can be determined. This allows for transparency and the enforcement of regulations within the chiropractic profession.
