Missouri Medical Board Revokes License of Psychiatrist Gerald Slonka Based on Controlled Substance Violations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 26, 2021, the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts ordered that the medical license of Parkville [Kansas City Metropolitan Area] psychiatrist Gerald F. Slonka be revoked. Prior to the revocation, suspensions of his license had been ordered in 2016, 2017, and 2018 for failure to file or pay state taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current revocation order was based on Slonka’s violation of various drug laws and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He unlawfully possessed controlled substances not prescribed to him; failed to use an appropriate form or sign a digital order when taking possession of and distributing schedule II controlled substances; and failed to maintain proper records, receipt and\/or inventory of the controlled substances he possessed and distributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he did not maintain a controlled substance administration and dispensing log separate from patients’ charts, and failed to provide adequate controls to detect and prevent the diversion of controlled substances into unauthorized channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board found the discipline imposed necessary to protect the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crime and Fraud in the Mental Health Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A prison term or revoked license has not always stopped a psychiatrist from later attempting to acquire a license elsewhere or even to take up unlicensed practice or practice in a sector of the healing arts that is not regulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, Citizens Commission on Human Rights exposes people in the mental health industry who have been criminally charged, convicted and\/or sentenced as well as those who have been investigated and charged by state health care licensing boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
