Abstract
The 21st General Assembly created the State Board of Medical Examiners in 1886 to license physicians and regulate the practice of medicine. Initially, the Board issued licenses to several classes of physicians, including medical (M.D.), homeopaths, and eclectics. The Board did not issue licenses for osteopathic physicians until 1902. In 1921, the Legislature created a separate Board to license and regulate osteopaths. In 1963, the Legislature abolished the Osteopathic Board and redefined the State Board of Medical Examiners, making it a composite Board to license allopathic physicians (M.D.s) and osteopathic physicians (D.O.s). In 2007, the Board was renamed the Board of Medicine.
