What it does

The Medical Practice Act establishes the Medical Board of California for the licensure, regulation, and discipline of physicians and surgeons. The act provides that the regular practice of medicine in a licensed general or specialized hospital having 5 or more physicians and surgeons on the medical staff without specified provisions governing the operation of the hospital relating to patient medical records and to the organization, membership, and self-governance of the medical staff constitutes unprofessional conduct subject to discipline by the board under the act. A violation of the act, unless otherwise expressly provided, is a crime.
