Question about unlicensed medical practice..

Hello, the situation you described clearly constitutes unlicensed medical practice, and the level of punishment is very high.

The Medical Service Act stipulates that those who have not received a license cannot perform medical acts, and this includes medical professionals whose license has been suspended.

That is, if you performed medical acts during the qualification suspension period, this is considered an unlicensed act and can be subject to imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

In particular, if there are circumstances of intentionally continuing unlicensed medical practice while knowing about the suspension status and concealing it from patients or institutions, it can be evaluated more severely than simple violations.

Depending on recidivism, habituality, and damage status, license revocation disposition is also possible, so you must keep both administrative dispositions and criminal punishment in mind.

In future responses, confession and reflection, presence of victims, the gravity of the medical act, and whether harm was done to patient safety act importantly.

To respond to both criminal and administrative dispositions, you must organize explanatory materials with a medical law specialist attorney and prepare for leniency for unlicensed medical practice. We strongly recommend receiving legal advice promptly.
