AFFECTED PROFESSIONS
The Physicians Track
Federal prosecutions of licensed physicians raise procedural and evidentiary questions that most defendants — and most juries — have never encountered.
Licensed professionals face a specific version of the two-systems problem. Charging decisions can hinge on complex standards of care, expert disagreement, and administrative recordkeeping — but the discovery tools available to defend against those charges look nothing like the ones available in civil malpractice.
The Physicians Track documents that pattern. We collect voluntary intake from physicians who have faced or are facing federal investigation, contribute the resulting record to the Economic Impact Study, and build resource materials tailored to medical practices navigating overreach.
What This Means
Pattern documentation
A voluntary, anonymized intake that tracks charging theories, discovery denials, and outcomes across specialties and districts.
Practice continuity
Guidance on how a clinical practice can continue to serve patients when a physician is under investigation, including staff, billing, and licensing questions.
Expert testimony reform
Proposed procedural changes so that both sides can test opposing experts before trial, not the morning they take the stand.
Coalition partners
We work with medical societies and independent physician groups who want to raise these issues without endorsing any individual case.
