License Suspension FAQ: Reinstatement Process for Virginia Healthcare Professionals

The Virginia Department of Health Professions published an FAQ explaining the mandatory license suspension process under Virginia Code § 54.1-2409 and the reinstatement process for healthcare professionals. Suspensions are triggered by felony convictions, license revocations/suspensions in other states, or surrenders in lieu of discipline in other states. The document outlines that reinstatement applicants must submit an application, cooperate with an investigation, and appear before the Board, which has 60 days to schedule a hearing after receiving a complete application.
