Suppose a practicing physician's undergrad college discovers a case of academic dishonesty 15 years later. The undergrad college sends this case to the medical school the physician went to. Will the medical school rescind the degree and will the physician lose their license?

No idea. But the reason why I mention it is because so many things nowadays are being discovered so many years later.

Okay what did you do
 
How serious of an academic dishonesty could it have been that it is discovered 15 years later? After 100,000's of students have moved through the University. Why would they care? Did they find the dead body of the teacher he killed to get an A?

I am sorry but this one falls in line with stupid and bizarre things posted by you.
 
I have seen it being down academic professionals, but not physicians yet. I could see it affecting academic medicine.

OP really pissed off his professor and now that professor is hoarding evidence for OP's academic dishonesty. The prof will sit on the evidence to allow time for OP to build up his credentials. Then when OP at last achieves success, the prof will strike and tear him down. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Is that it, OP?
 
Isnt this somewhat similar to the Case Western kid who had his degree rescinded retroactively after matching into Dermatology?

I think that has set a strong precedent for the future.

Say they found that perhaps you and your mates shared some organic chemistry lab results in freshman year. They probably could retroactively strip you of everything for that citing professionalism.

Last I checked he did something fairly stupid and it cost him. Sharing lab notes freshmen year will not result in all this. This really is a stupid question as no one is going to be rifling through all your assignments or tests 15 years after the fact... (Not endorsing this either way)

Like was mentioned above, unless you literally killed a professor for a grade and they just found the body 15 yrs later then nothing like this will happen.

I'll put this on my list of things not to do in my premed career... 😉
Just kidding, but OP, what did you do?
....

[] Don't kill professor.
 
Didn't the guy at case have a legal injunction against the school where they couldn't do anything until the suit against him was decided? That's a bit different.
 
The only thing that I think would get found with that big of a consequence is if a paper you wrote was getting recirculated for some reason, or a professor was sharing it for learning reasons, and someone - a student or other faculty maybe- recognized that it was actually written by someone else or there were lines they recognized from a book they read.

Seems far-fetched, but certainly not impossible. Can't imagine they find someone stole a copy of a test 15 years after the incident.
 
The guy at case committed some actual crimes during his time at the school (DUI), so the school had a pretty good reason to strip the degree. Not that I agree with that decision, but I think that's the kind of thing needed to strip a degree. Not just some claim of academic dishonesty.
 
I can't see them striping your license/degree for academic dishonesty 15 years prior....
 
I agree that the question makes it seem as if I have done something. But honestly, I haven't. I just read that someone got kicked out of medical school in their 4th year when a lie was discovered on their application. So I was genuinely wondering what would happen in a more exaggerated case to really see how sensitive retaining a medical license really is.

Far fetched question? Yes. Weird question? A bit. But that doesn't mean I deserve to be accused and repeatedly asked "What did you do?".

And I guess if my questions really are annoying, I apologize. I'll try to control it. I just have a very active mind 🙂
