In their article titled 'Educator, Judge, Public Defender: Conflicting roles for remediators of practicing physicians', Bourgeois-Law, Regehr, Teunissen & Varpio1 describe the experiences of remediators who work with practicing physicians. Their primary finding is that remediators of practicing physicians are required to continuously shift between the role of an educator (responsible for fostering an 'educational alliance' with the remediatee), judge (responsible for determining whether the remediatee can return to independent practice), and public defender (responsible for ensuring the public is safe from incompetent physicians).
