The Indiana Medical Licensing Board voted that Dr. Caitlin Bernard didn’t abide by privacy laws when she told a reporter about the girl’s treatment in a case that became a flashpoint in the national abortion debate.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard raises her right hand as she is sworn in Thursday, May 25, 2023, during a hearing in front of the state medical board in Indianapolis.
The state medical board convenes Thursday, May 25, 2023, at the Indiana Government South building in downtown Indianapolis. The board was holding the final hearing in a complaint filed by Attorney General Todd Rokita saying Dr. Caitlin Bernard violated patient privacy laws and reporting laws. Medical board President Dr. John Strobel said he believed Bernard went too far in telling a reporter about the girl’s pending abortion and that physicians need to be careful about observing patient privacy.
Deputy Attorney General Cory Voight argued Thursday that the board needed to address what he called an “egregious violation” of patient privacy and Bernard’s failure to notify Indiana’s Department of Child Services and police about the rape. Board member Dr. Bharat Barai opposed finding that Bernard violated privacy laws, saying that she released no direct protected identifying information such as the girl’s name or address. He disagreed with the board majority’s view that the combination of information about the rare instance of a pregnant 10-year-old girl could have exposed her identity.
