Categories: Board News Comments: 1 comment Print Friendly Version | Share this item
Applicants are needed for two physician seats, one physician assistant (PA) seat and one nurse practitioner (NP) seat on the North Carolina Medical Board for terms beginning Nov. 1.
All positions must be filled by the process set down in statute (N.C. Gen. Stat. 90-2 and 90-3), which requires interested parties to apply via the Review Panel for the North Carolina Medical Board. The Review Panel is an independent body that nominates candidates for consideration by Gov. Roy Cooper. By law, the Review Panel must nominate two candidates for each open seat.
One physician seat and both advanced practice provider seats are currently occupied by individuals who are eligible for reappointment. However, incumbents must apply for reappointment via the normal application process.
Applications will be accepted online through 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 27. For more information visit this website.
The Review Panel will consider only physicians (MDs or DOs), PAs and NPs who hold active, unrestricted NC medical licenses. Applicants must be actively providing patient care at least part time and must have no history of disciplinary action within the past five years.

I think it is ridiculously short-sighted that you require applicants to be actively practicing, when you have a plethora of candidates with 40-50 YEARS of experience who could perhaps provide insight that recent grads can’t begin to offer.

You are certainly contributing to physicians selling their practices or jsut giving up, due to feeling unable to deal with the changing practice environment!!
You’re missing the dang boat!!
