Physicians' Licensure

Physicians' licensure is a formal process through which medical professionals are authorized to practice medicine within a specific jurisdiction, ensuring they meet established standards of education, training, and ethical conduct. This process involves passing rigorous exams and fulfilling continuing education requirements to protect public health and ensure competent care. Licensure is usually granted by state or national medical boards and must be renewed periodically. It verifies that physicians have the necessary qualifications and adhere to professional standards, maintaining public trust and safety in healthcare delivery.
