As part of the Florida CARES assessment, physicians will be given a detailed description of their deficiencies as well as a detailed remedial education program. Remediation “prescriptions” may include:
- Specific Continuing Medical Education (CME) recommendations.
- Recommendations for supervision of practice ranging from chart review to direct supervision.
- Experiential learning consisting of mini-fellowships or residency training.
- Psychiatric/psychological treatment for an identified mental illness such as depression/anxiety or substance abuse.
Upon completion of the remediation, Florida CARES can provide a focused evaluation to determine whether the physician’s skills in the deficient area are currently at the accepted standard of care.
