Will the conviction affect his license to practice medicine?
In the US a doctor who is convicted of a crime, especially a federal crime - courts martials are considered a federal offense in the US, although they may only be a conviction for what would otherwise be considered a misdemeanor were they committed in civilian life - can result in the doctor's losing the right to practice medicine.
