R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-37-8. Grounds for discipline without hearing.

The director may temporarily suspend the license of a physician or limited registrant without a hearing if the director finds that evidence in his or her possession indicates that a physician’s or limited registrant’s continuation in practice would constitute an immediate danger to the public. In the event that the director temporarily suspends the license of a physician or limited registrant without a hearing, a hearing by the board must be held within ten (10) days after the day the suspension has occurred. In the event the tenth day occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal state holiday, the hearing by the board shall be held on the first business day following the Saturday, Sunday, or legal state holiday.
