About the Board
The Oregon Medical Board consists of 12 members appointed by the Governor.  Seven of the members have the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD), two have the degree of Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) and one has the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM).  Of the seven MDs, there is at least one member appointed from each federal congressional district.  In addition to the 10 physician members, there are also two public members representing health consumers.
 
Each member is selected for a three year term, with the opportunity to participate in a second term, for a total of six years.  All persons appointed must have been residents of this state for at least seven years.  The physician members must have been in active practice for at least five years immediately preceding their appointment.  Neither the public members nor any person within the immediate family of the public members shall be employed as a health professional or in any health-related industry.
