Central files; creation; contents; complaint forms; confidentiality
The California Medical Board must keep a central file of all licensed practitioners in the state, and must include the following information on each licensed professional:
- Criminal conviction;
- Judgment or settlement where the individual was required to pay $3,000 or more in damages;
- Public complaints;
- Disciplinary action.
The law states that the files are not public record, and must remain confidential. The licensed professional or his/her attorney may inspect the files, except where the identity of an information source is disclosed.
