Public Citizen’s Health Research Group Ranking of the Rate of State Medical Boards’ Serious Disciplinary Actions, 2004-2006

“Public Citizen today released its annual report ranking how effective state medical boards are at disciplining doctors. Mississippi ranked worst and Alaska best.”

  • “Public Citizen’s Health Research Group has calculated the rate of serious disciplinary actions per 1,000 doctors in each state. Using state-by-state data released in late April by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) on the number of disciplinary actions taken against doctors in 2006, combined with data from earlier FSMB reports covering 2004 and 2005, we have compiled a national report ranking state boards by the rate of serious disciplinary actions per 1,000 doctors for the years 2004-6 (See Table 1, PDF) and for earlier three-year intervals (See Table 2, PDF).”
