The primary mission of the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners is to protect the public and fulfill two major functions: (1) licensing physicians (M.D. and D.O.), physician assistants, anesthesiologist assistants, respiratory care practitioners, registered cardiovascular invasive specialists, acupuncturists, auricular therapists, and auricular detoxification specialists; and (2) investigating and disciplining licensees found to be engaged in misconduct as defined in the professions' respective practice acts. This includes illegal, unethical or incompetent conduct.

The Board office can assist you with examination information and materials, continuing education requirements, licensure applications and renewals, board information, and more.
