Chapter 1 (by Debra A. Geroux) provides a road map for individuals to utilize as a starting point in their pursuit of licensure in one of the many health care professions.
Chapter 2 (by Robert S. Iwrey) provides an overview of the typical process followed by Michigan's Bureau of Health Professions in its investigation and prosecution of health care providers for alleged violations of Michigan's Public Health Code and the collateral legal effect that imposed sanctions can have upon the health care provider.
