What can be a potential outcome if a licensee has a history of unprofessional conduct?

A history of unprofessional conduct can lead to mandatory remedial education or treatment as an essential outcome to address the issues that contributed to the unprofessional behavior. This requirement serves several purposes: it helps to ensure that the licensee receives the necessary training or support to improve their practices, promotes better standards in the profession, and protects the public from potential future misconduct.

Mandatory remedial education or treatment allows the licensee to identify and correct problematic behaviors or attitudes that may have led to their unprofessional conduct. This approach emphasizes rehabilitation and accountability while maintaining the integrity of the profession.

In contrast, increased business opportunities could lead to further difficulties rather than resolving underlying issues. Transferring to another profession does not address the misconduct itself and may simply allow the licensee to avoid consequences. A public reprimand without consequence fails to provide the necessary steps for improvement and does not align with the goal of maintaining professional standards in the field.
