Professional Regulatory Agencies

Professional regulatory agencies are government or independent bodies responsible for overseeing specific professions, such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, or engineers. They establish and enforce standards for education, ethical conduct, and competency to ensure practitioners are qualified and maintain public safety. These agencies handle licensing, discipline, and ongoing certification, helping to protect consumers by maintaining trust and professionalism within the field. Essentially, they serve as guardians of quality and integrity within their respective professions.
