Board Members are appointed by the Governor. Physicians and PAs must apply according to a process established by state law (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-2 and 90-3), which requires interested parties to apply to an independent panel that nominates candidates for the Governor’s consideration. The deadline to apply is June 23, 2025.
Board Members participate in bimonthly meetings as well as disciplinary hearings, which are held up to six times per year depending on caseload. Board Members spend about 20 hours preparing for each meeting or hearing. In addition, many Board Members contribute articles to the Board’s quarterly newsletter and present to medical students, residents, professional meetings, community groups and other audiences as part of their work on the Board. Board Members are appointed to three-year terms and may serve up to two consecutive terms.

By law, NCMB has three public members. One is appointed at the discretion of the Governor and two are appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendations of the Speaker and President Pro Tempore.
