State Medical Board The State Medical Board is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. The board consists of five physicians, one physician assistant, and two public members. Board members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature. The Board adopts regulations to carry out the laws governing the practice of medicine in Alaska. It makes final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary action against people who violate the licensing laws. The board meets four times a year and offers a public comment period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and minutes are available from the executive administrator. Collaboration with ACCMEto Streamline CME Reporting and Audits The Division of Corporations, Business & Professional Licensing (CBPL) is collaborating with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to streamline the Continuing Medical Education (CME) reporting process for physicians licensed in Alaska. CBPL will use/accept ACCME's Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS) to verify that physicians who are audited during the renewal of their medical license have fulfilled Alaska's CME requirements. In Alaska, use of PARS is an option, not a requirement. Hard Copy License Certificates Discontinued The division has expanded our online services to allow licensees to download their own license certificates on demand. As a result, the division no longer mails hardcopy license certificates. The certificates will be located under the “initial application” and “renewal” events in the MY LICENSE account. If you need guidance on how to set up or access your MY LICENSE account, you can access the MY LICENSE instructions here.
