The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has summarily suspended the osteopathic medicine and surgery license of Robert Martin Stang, D.O., based on allegations that while serving as a sports coach and medical advisor for several school districts, Stang had inappropriate sexual contact with students.

On September 9, 2004, MDCH issued an Order of Summary Suspension against Stang. The MDCH Bureau of Health Professions orders a summary suspension when it believes that the public’s health, safety, and welfare warrant emergency action. An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Stang’s license.
