The Medical Board exists to regulate medicine and surgery for “the benefit and protection of the people of North Carolina.”

If you are looking for news, announcements and general information about the NCMB, which licenses and regulates physicians and certain other healthcare practitioners, you are in the right place. If you have questions or concerns that need immediate attention – you want to file a license application or you’re wondering how to file a complaint, for example – Facebook isn’t the right forum. Please visit our website at www.ncmedboard.org or contact us via email or telephone. Finally, a note on how the NCMB uses Facebook:
We’re an 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., M-F kind of organization. We’ll make every effort to respond to comments promptly. Just give us a little extra time if you’re posting on nights and weekends.

Today (3/30) is National Doctors' Day. Thank you to all licensed in North Carolina and beyond.
