The Arizona State Medical Board licenses qualified allopathic physicians (MDs) in Arizona. As a state regulatory authority within government administration, it investigates patient complaints against physicians and may discipline licenses to protect public safety. In its role, the board emphasizes public protection rather than representing the interests of medical associations. Based in Scottsdale, the board operates as part of the state’s regulatory framework overseeing multiple licensed professions to maintain public safety. It notes that similar boards exist for other professionals—osteopathic physicians, physician assistants, psychologists, cosmetologists, accountants and opticians—sharing the same objective of public protection.
