MI: discipline for failure to comply with training requirements
Date postedSeptember 11, 2024
In 2024, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs fined or disciplined at least 132 licensed professionals, including doctors and pharmacy technicians, for not completing the state's mandatory implicit bias training, a requirement introduced in 2020. Fines totaled $75,000, with penalties ranging from $125 to $2,500. Some professionals opted to surrender their licenses rather than comply. The fines are part of Michigan's enforcement of its Public Health Code. A research study is planned to assess the impact of this training requirement.
