Medical Licensing Board

A Medical Licensing Board is a government or professional agency responsible for regulating and overseeing medical practitioners within a jurisdiction. It evaluates and licenses qualified physicians to ensure they meet specific education, training, and competency standards. The board also monitors ongoing practice, investigates complaints, and enforces disciplinary actions if necessary. Its primary goal is to protect public health by ensuring that only competent and ethical medical professionals provide healthcare services. In essence, the board acts as a gatekeeper, maintaining high standards within the medical profession to safeguard patient safety and trust.
