Upon receiving a citation or disciplinary action, how long does a practitioner have to report it to the board?

A practitioner must report a citation or disciplinary action to the board within 30 days. This requirement is crucial to maintain transparency and uphold the standards of the profession. Timely reporting allows the board to effectively monitor practitioners and take necessary actions to protect public health and safety.

Failure to report such actions can lead to further disciplinary measures, demonstrating the importance of compliance with the reporting requirement. Understanding this timeline helps ensure that practitioners remain accountable and adhere to the legal and ethical standards set forth in the Texas Respiratory Care Practice Act.
