Akoda failed basic medical certification exams in 1992 and 1993 but passed later exams.<\/p>\n However, his certifications were revoked in 1995 after the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduate Certification discovered he was a fraud. Undeterred, Akoda enrolled in a residency program in a New Jersey hospital to complete his \u201cmedical training\u201d but was eventually expelled after hospital officials discovered his credentials were fake.<\/p>\n Somehow, Akoda was accepted for a residency program at Howard University Hospital and eventually obtained medical licenses to practice in Maryland and Virginia. According to reports, Akoda practiced at Prince George\u2019s Hospital Center from 2011 - 2015.<\/p>\n In 2016, Akoda pleaded guilty in federal court to using fake social security numbers, for which we received a sentence of only six months in prison and a $100 fine. While the criminal justice system appears to have been lenient on Akoda, our nation\u2019s civil justice system allows victims to file a lawsuit against Dr. Akoda<\/a>.<\/p>\n The plaintiff injury lawyers of The Cochran Firm, DC take allegations like those against Dr. Charles Akoda and PG Hospital Center very seriously and believe negligent parties must be held liable for the harm they have caused. While our society expects hospitals and doctors to do the right thing and compensate injured patients, the truth is that these parties would rather deny, delay, and defend meritorious claims.<\/p>\nHow did Dr. Akoda receive a medical license?<\/b><\/h3>\n
