Proceedings before professional councils (CRM, CRO, COFEN, CRP, CREFITO and others)

Are you a healthcare professional who has been notified of an inquiry or ethics-disciplinary proceeding before your professional council?

Physicians, dentists, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals in Brazil answer to their professional councils — CRM, CRO, COFEN, CRP, CREFITO and others — for complaints related to their professional practice. These proceedings follow their own procedure, with specific deadlines, stages and rules of defense, and may result in sanctions ranging from a warning to the revocation of the professional license, with consequences for the professional's career and personal life.

Moreira e Bastos Advogados advises and defends healthcare professionals from the preliminary inquiry through judgment and appeals, reviewing the records, the medical charts and the ethical rules applicable to each profession, and provides guidance on the repercussions the same facts may have in other spheres.
