Medical Advisory Committee:The Oregon State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Committee serves as an advisory group to us on medical issues and policies. Much of the critical components of the Commission's regulatory function is the application of health and safety standards.
The Committee provides advice to the Commission on required medical testing for competitors, medical requirements for the safe conduct of unarmed combat sports and entertainment wrestling events, and other issues that require the expertise of trained physicians. The Committee also considers and approves proposed ringside physicians. The Committee is comprised of five volunteer physicians appointed by the Oregon State Police Superintendent. The Committee meets as needed.
