Cal. Code Regs. tit. 16, § 1399.703
(b) Any public action or administrative decision against any doctor of podiatric medicine, and any disposition thereof, taken by the Board, another state or the Federal Government including, but not limited to:
(8) public letters of reprimand.
The following disclaimer shall be included with these disclosures:
“Any adverse judgment or administrative order is subject to appeal or challenge by the doctor of podiatric medicine. For example, if an order revoking the license of a doctor of podiatric medicine is adopted by the Board, he or she can challenge that order by filing a petition for a writ of mandamus in superior court. If this court determines the order was issued contrary to law, it can vacate the Board's action and order that the doctor of podiatric medicine be reinstated.”
(d) Civil judgments in any amount of a claim or action for damages for death or personal injury caused by the negligence, error, or omission in practice by a doctor of podiatric medicine, or by his or her rendering unauthorized professional services, whether or not vacated by a settlement after entry of the judgment, and not reversed on appeal, including the date and amount of judgment, the court and case number, a brief summary of the circumstances as provided by the court, plus any information the Board possesses pertaining to the disposition of the case following entry of judgment. The Board shall also include the following disclaimer with such disclosures:
“Any civil judgment is subject to appeal by the losing party. For example, if a judgment is entered against a doctor of podiatric medicine, he or she can appeal to a higher court. If this court determines the judgment was entered in error, it can either vacate it or reduce the amount of any money damages awarded against the podiatrist.”
(h) Matters that have been referred to the Attorney General for the filing of an accusation or statement of issues; provided that:
(2) The following disclaimer accompanies the disclosure:
“Referral of a matter to the Attorney General for the filing of an accusation or statement of issues only occurs after an investigation has been conducted by the Board and a determination has been made that the actions of the doctor of podiatric medicine are of a nature that should warrant disciplinary action. In some instances, however, the Attorney General may determine that disciplinary action is not warranted. Such cases will normally not result in the filing of a formal accusation. When an accusation is filed, the podiatrist will be given notice and the right to request a hearing before an independent administrative law judge. At such a hearing the Board has the burden of proving the allegations contained in the accusation. Unless a legal determination is made that the Board has sustained this burden, no disciplinary action may be taken against the doctor of podiatric medicine.”
The Podiatric Medical Board of California will disclose the following information, if known, upon any request regarding any doctor of podiatric medicine licensed in California:
