Board Members and Staff Responsibilities

All correspondence and inquiries should be directed to the Board of Osteopathic Medicine Staff at 4052 Bald Cypress Way Bin #C06, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3256. Since this Board serves as a "quasi judicial" entity on licensure issues, contact with the members may cause the members to be recused from administrative proceedings. Staff will direct inquiries, when appropriate to the full Board for review.

Two members must be lay persons who are not and who have never been Osteopathic Physicians or members of any closely related profession.
