What it does
Existing state law, the Medical Practice Act, establishes the Medical Board of California within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The board is responsible for the licensure and regulation of physicians and surgeons, and is required by the act to adopt and administer standards for the continuing education of those physicians and surgeons. Existing law requires all physicians and surgeons to complete a mandatory continuing education course on pain management and the treatment of terminally ill and dying patients, as provided.
