Med Board Pulse

The board is responsible for the licensing, regulation and discipline of specific health care professionals. But the board also receives questions from patients and caregivers, providers and the general public about matters that fall outside of its purview. That’s why we are excited to introduce a new series, Beyond the Board, to shed light on some of these topics. In this first episode, we explore the difference between the Medical Board’s disciplinary process, filing a malpractice lawsuit and how criminal behavior is addressed.
