State Licensure Boards

State licensure boards are government-authorized agencies responsible for regulating specific professions, such as healthcare, to ensure practitioners meet established standards of competence and professionalism. They set requirements for licensing, oversee licensing examinations, and handle disciplinary actions if practitioners violate laws or ethical guidelines. Their goal is to protect public safety by ensuring that professionals are qualified and adhere to the standards of their field. Overall, they serve as the regulatory authority that maintains the integrity and quality of practice within their jurisdiction.
