How are Board members selected and how long do they serve?
The statute passed by the General Assembly sets the number, term, and qualifications of the Board members, and defines how members are appointed. There are ten members on the Board – two practitioner members, two public members, four physician members, one member appointed by the NC Hospital Association and one member appointed by the NC Association for Medical Equipment Services. The General Assembly appoints the two practitioner members and two physician members; the Governor appoints the public members; the NC Medical Society appoints one physician member; and the Old North State Medical Society appoints one physician member. Board members serve three-year terms, and may not serve more than two consecutive terms. Click Board Members for Board member names.
