What kind of consequences could happen against me if I’m found guilty of violating the NAD-RID CPC or the new EPS Policy?

As outlined in the revised EPS policy, these consequences may include, but are not limited to:

• the assignment of remedial education, 
• non-public or public reprimand and warning, 
• suspension and/or revocation of RID membership or eligibility for RID membership,
• suspension and/or revocation of certification or eligibility for RID certification or other disciplinary action as determined at the discretion of RID.  

Additionally, disciplinary actions may be reported to any state licensing authority, the federal government, the certificant’s employer, and other interested parties, including individuals seeking information about the certificant’s credentials, in accordance with procedures outlined in the EPS policy.

The EPS policy represents some, though not necessarily all, of the behaviors that may trigger review under RID’s EPS. RID retains the right to take disciplinary action under this policy even if the certificant’s membership expires or the certificant retires from practice, provided that the violation triggering the disciplinary proceeding occurred when the candidate or certificant was certified, seeking certification, or applying for or holding any other RID credentials.
