: I found malpractice too. Incompetence might be an alternative, more general. As I understand it, imperícia implies that the person should have the necessary skills, but didn´t exercise them properly.

lack of qualifications // being unqualified
This seems to be the sense here and, semantically, is the opposite of pericia/expertise.
Boa sorte.

: I think the idea here is not the quastion of diplomas/papers/licenses etc, but that the person could have been highly qualified but somehow screwed up
