A Special Conference Committee "B" of the Virginia Board of Dentistry on May 9, 2025, assessed a $2,500 monetary penalty against Dr. Sammi Kim, D.M.D., for Case No. 230529 and ordered multiple continuing-education requirements to be completed within six months.
Erin T. Weaver, Deputy Executive Director of the Department of Health Professions, reported the Committee's decision after the panel met in closed session for deliberations under § 2.2-3711(A)(27) of the Code of Virginia. The Committee's action, moved by Dr. Sidra Butt, D.D.S., was seconded and passed.
The Committee's order requires Dr. Kim to complete: a six-hour continuing-education course on crown-and-bridge procedures that includes a hands-on component; a three-hour course on recordkeeping; and a three-hour course on diagnosis and treatment planning for restorative dentistry. All courses must be successfully completed within six months from the date the Order is entered. The Committee also assessed a $2,500 monetary penalty tied to Case No. 230529; the minutes do not specify the underlying factual allegations listed in the Board's Notice of Nov. 20, 2024.
Dr. Sammi Kim appeared at the May 9 proceeding with counsel Paige T. Ferros and provided a statement to the Committee, which the minutes record as having been received. The Committee moved into a closed meeting to deliberate the case and reconvened to adopt the decision. The motion to convene the closed meeting noted that staff Erin T. Weaver and Donna Lee, Discipline Case Manager, were necessary to attend to aid deliberations.
The Committee also approved the minutes from an Informal Conference held Feb. 14, 2025, and adjourned at 1:55 p.m. The minutes do not record a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies for the decision; they state only that the motion was seconded and passed.
The order sets compliance deadlines but does not specify disciplinary license restrictions or further monitoring; the Board's Notice of Nov. 20, 2024, is cited as the source of the allegations but the minutes do not include the detailed allegations or the full text of the Order.
Next steps: the Order requires documented proof of successful course completion within six months of entry; the minutes do not state when the Order was formally entered or the exact effective date for the six-month deadline.
