Medical Board
A Medical Board is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing the practice of medicine within a specific jurisdiction, such as a state or country. Its primary functions include licensing physicians, ensuring compliance with medical standards, and investigating complaints against healthcare professionals. The board aims to protect public health and safety by maintaining high standards in medical practice.
Members of a medical board typically include licensed physicians, public members, and sometimes other healthcare professionals. They establish guidelines for medical education, conduct disciplinary actions when necessary, and may also provide resources for continuing education. This ensures that practitioners remain competent and up-to-date in their field.
