The Oregon Medical Board is privileged to license and regulate physicians, podiatric physicians, physician associates and acupuncturists, who constitute one of the finest groups of health care professionals in the country. It is our mission to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of Oregon citizens by regulating the practice of medicine in a manner that promotes access to quality care. Because the OMB is responsible for caring for the needs of a diverse population and thriving health care community, we simply must have the best and brightest workforce.
