Let LicenseSure Defense Law Protect Your Virginia Physician’s License
The Purpose of Physician State Medical Boards
Our healthcare licensing system is meant to safeguard the public from physicians that are unskilled, abusive or inappropriate with patients, or commit illegal acts against them.
The Virginia Board of Medicine is responsible for licensing physicians and disciplining those that breach their ethical oath to prioritize patient well-being and prevent them from being harmed. The latest statistics show that in 2022 more than 3,000 physicians were disciplined by their state boards, with just about half of them going through the state's discipline process for the first time.

How The Virginia Medical Board Regulates Doctors
Virginia's Department of Health Professionals (DHP) and one of its divisions, the Virginia Medical Board (VMB) regulates physicians in medical practice. The VMB’s 18 members are in charge of medical doctors, osteopathic doctors, Occupational therapists and physical assistants.
Beyond licensing new doctors and interns, the VMB investigates complaints of physician wrongdoing. If a complaint is founded, you could face a suspension or revocation of you license.
