California medical board suspends psychiatrist Dayalal D. Tank for incompetence

November 27, 2013

On October 2, 2013, the Medical Board of California issued an interim order of suspension against psychiatrist Dayalal Debraj Tank. The Board’s document states that in 2009, Tank’s employer, Citrus Valley Medical Center initiated a peer review process of Tank, due to concerns regarding his patient admission rate and his progress notes. Tank was required to attend the Physician Assessment and Clinical Evaluation (PACE) program at the University of California Medical School in 2009; he failed both phase I and II of the program. He attended the PACE program again in 2013 and again failed both phases of the program.
