Medical students seeking licensure as a Doctor/Physician in California generally must attend a medical school recognized or approved by the Medical Board of California. The Medical Board of California, or MBC, licenses approximately 120,000 Doctors/Physicians in the State of California. The Medical Board of California grants approval and recognition to medical schools. The approval and recognition of a medical school by the Medical Board of California allows students to obtain a Postgraduate Training License (PTL) or Physician and Surgeons License. The approval and recognition process can be complex, procedural and time consuming. Medical schools seeking Medical Board of California approval or recognition should seek representation from an experienced Medical Board of California Medical School Accreditation Application Lawyer.

Medical Board of California Medical School Self Assessment Review Lawyer

The Medical Board of California maintains strict standards for approving and accrediting domestic and foreign medical schools. Many other states utilize the approval and recognition criteria established by California. In fact, some states rely solely on California to determine whether a medical school meets the criteria for approval or recognition. The Medical Board of California’s Licensing Division maintains a process for accreditation application approval. The applicant medical school must complete an extensive Self Assessment Review application, or SAR. The application for approval and recognition may require numerous revisions prior to receiving approval. In some instances, a site visit to the medical school by the Medical Board of California may be required. Medical schools seeking accreditation by the Medical Board of California can consult with a Medical Board of California Medical School Approval Application Attorney.
