Region's State Medical Board Sites' Quality Varies Greatly
In a survey of states’ medical board Web sites, Public Citizen ranked Virginia’s 2nd, Maryland’s 18th, and D.C.’s 46th. State medical board Web sites contain information about the disciplinary records of doctors practicing in the state. The sites were ranked based on user-friendliness and content.
The boards are responsible for addressing, punishing, and publishing physician misconduct. Few of the sites provided information about disciplinary actions against physicians in other states.
