A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Michigan, the reinstatement of a suspended medical license involves a process with the Michigan Board of Medicine.
You'll need to submit an application for reinstatement, and the Board will review it on a case-by-case basis. Factors considered might include the reasons for the suspension, rehabilitation efforts, and any other relevant circumstances. It's often beneficial to demonstrate rehabilitation, such as undergoing treatment for alcoholism.
While you do not wish to return to the U.S., you may need to be present for hearings or meetings with the Board. It's highly advisable to engage with an attorney experienced in Michigan's medical licensing to guide you through the process and advocate on your behalf. This can optimize your chances of reinstatement.
