North Carolina Medical Board
The North Carolina Medical Board is the public agency that licenses and regulates physicians, physician assistants and certain other medical professionals and also investigates allegations of misconduct and, where appropriate, takes remedial or disciplinary action. The Board consists of 13 members appointed by the Governor who meet every other month during the odd numbered months and hold disciplinary hearings during the even-numbered months, as needed. The Board currently licenses more than 50,000 physicians and physician assistants. Consumers may look up physicians, physician assistants and other medical professionals at www.ncmedboard.org. The “Look Up a Doctor or PA” tool allows patients to find information about education, training, licensure history and disciplinary record, if any.
