Longtime veterinarian and reality television star Jan Pol, DVM, is serving probation from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for negligence and incompetence related to an April 2010 incident.
"The Incredible Dr. Pol" as touted in the title of his National Geographic Wild show, was ordered to pay a $500 fine and complete continuing education in the areas of documentation and record keeping, small animal reproduction, and ultrasound techniques and interpretation. According to documents provided by the state of Michigan, Pol failed to accurately read a canine ultrasound, appropriately treat the patient and to maintain and ensure that his staff kept adequate documentation of telephone calls, treatment records and recommendations to record an appropriate treatment history. Lori Donlan of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs said in an e-mail to DVM Newsmagazine that Pol paid his fine July 13, but remains on probation—instituted May 26—as he has not submitted any of his required continuing education.
