Welcome to the Medical Homepage
The Colorado Medical Board (CMB) was instituted as part of the Medical Practice Act for the purpose of regulating and controlling the practice of healing arts, which include establishing and enforcing the licensing standards for Medical Doctors (M.D.s), Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.s), Physician Assistants (P.A.s), and Anesthesiology Assistants (A.A.s). Licensure is mandatory to practice medicine in Colorado or to treat Colorado patients. Exceptions exist for the Veterans Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense physicians and other licensed healthcare providers.
The CMB investigates the unlicensed practice of medicine, however, it does not have authority to arbitrate or adjudicate fee disputes. The decisions made by the CMB are not subject to administrative review. The CMB is a Type I Board, meaning that it is policy autonomous and comprised of professional and public members (eight M.D.s, three D.O.s, two P.A.s, and four public members).

Permanent and Emergency Rulemaking Hearing - May 18, 2023
The Colorado Medical Board will hold a Permanent and Emergency Rulemaking Hearing to allow stakeholders a final opportunity to provide testimony before the Board considers adopting the proposed changes to the Colorado Medical Board’s Rule 100 regarding licensing examinations and the reorganization of the Board’s current Rules into a single CCR number (3 CCR 713-1) in the Colorado Code of Regulations instead of having each Board Rule being housed in a separate CCR number to make the Rules easier to navigate. The Board will consider whether to adopt the proposed revisions to Rule 100 on an emergency basis.
