What is a possible outcome of a violation found during informal disciplinary proceedings?

A possible outcome of a violation found during informal disciplinary proceedings is the issuance of a letter of concern. This action serves as a formal acknowledgment of the issue at hand while allowing the individual to understand the seriousness of their actions. A letter of concern typically outlines the violation and may provide guidance on how to rectify the situation, promoting accountability and encouraging the certificate holder to improve their practices. This method of discipline is often less severe than other sanctions and aims to facilitate corrective measures rather than impose harsh penalties.

In contrast, options such as a promotion within the profession, immediate certification renewal, or acceptance into advanced training programs do not align with the purpose of disciplinary proceedings. These outcomes are generally associated with positive achievements or advancements rather than consequences of violations. Disciplinary actions focus on addressing misconduct, making a letter of concern a fitting response in these circumstances.
