What is the Medical Board of California?

The Medical Board of California (MBC) is a state government agency within the Department of Consumer Affairs responsible for licensing, regulating, and disciplining physicians and surgeons (MDs), as well as certain allied healthcare professionals, in California.

Its primary mission is to protect healthcare consumers by ensuring proper licensing, enforcing the Medical Practice Act objectively, investigating complaints, and promoting access to quality medical care.

The MBC also provides public information on licensee records, handles disciplinary actions when needed, and supports high standards in medical practice.

The Medical Board of California also allows the public to verify a physician's license and review the doctors disciplinary history.
