5)         All dates and types of employment held since the discipline was imposed;

6)         All continuing or remedial education completed since the discipline was ordered;

7)         If the Petitioner has sought medical treatment, psychotherapy or counseling since the discipline was ordered, and if rehabilitation is relied upon as a basis for petitioning that the license be restored or the probation terminated, the name and address of the treating professional, and whether the Petitioner consents to disclosure by the professional of matters that are relevant to whether the Petitioner is fit to resume practice;
