Medical Board Roundtable

The Medical Board Roundtable, a PSAN committee, is a national coalition of patient and consumer advocates interested in increasing public awareness and responsiveness of state medical boards to patients, families and the public. We are also broadly interested in physician performance, oversight and accountability.
