70 - OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA

The Osteopathic Medical Board of California sets and enforces standards for licensure of California osteopathic physicians and surgeons. By conducting examinations, investigations, and disciplinary proceedings, the Board ensures that recognized standards of practice and treatment are maintained by its licentiates.

Effective October 23, 2009, the Bureau of Naturopathic Medicine was abolished and the duties of the Bureau were transferred to the Osteopathic Medical Board of California pursuant to Chapter 18, Statutes of 2009 (AB X4 20).
