In 2003, the Georgia Composite Medical Board launched the Physician Profile Database online. The Board’s Web site offers information on your health care provider such as licensure status, license number, expiration date of license and any public disciplinary actions. The database also allows you to search for a physician, view that physician’s profile, and to locate information about other services offered by the Board.
The Georgia Composite Medical Board is the agency that licenses physicians, physician’s assistants, respiratory care professionals, perfusionists, acupuncturists, orthotists, prosthetists, auricular (ear) detoxification specialists and residency training permits. In addition to licensing, The Medical Board also works to ensure the delivery of quality health care services by disciplining individuals under its jurisdiction who do not meet professional standards as set forth in the Medical Practice Act.
The mission of the Georgia Composite Medical Board is to protect the health of Georgians through the proper licensing of physicians and certain members of the healing arts through the objective enforcement of the Medical Practice Act.
