The Medical family
DORA groups its license types into 40 families. This one holds 45,311 active licenses across 11 types.
817 of the 45,311 active licenses in the Medical family carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 1.8%.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every license counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
