The Medical Board of California may take disciplinary action against a physician for malpractice or bad behavior, including “substantially-related” conduct. The term substantially-related conduct is a catch-all term used by the Medical Board of California to describe actions that are significantly related to a physician’s qualifications, duties, or functions. The Medical Board of California interprets “substantially-related” broadly. Examples of substantially-related conduct include minor offenses such as driving under the influence (DUI).
