(MSC News)--The Executive Director of the Kansas Board of Healing Arts has been placed on probation for six-months.
That follows an investigative series conducted by Kansas City TV station KMBC 9 that revealed doctors being allowed to continue practicing despite repeated criminal convictions, as well as inaccurate information on the board's website.
The TV station reports, citing a confidential source, that the decision to place Kathleen Selzler Lippert on probation followed a vote of the board, which reportedly was linked to the investigative report.
A high employee turnover rate was also cited as a reason behind the decision.
Selzler Lippert, a resident of Sabetha, Kansas, has served in the role for nearly 10-years.
An attempt by the TV station to reach Selzler Lippert for comment was unsuccessful.
MSC News Thursday afternoon sent emails to both Selzler Lippert and to the Kansas Board of Healing Arts seeking comment but have not immediately received a reply.
