| | State Medical Licensing Board |
| | The regulation of physicians in Illinois can be traced back to the first Medical Practice Act of Illinois |
| | enacted in 1877. Medical practitioners were placed under the jurisdiction of the Department upon its |
| | creation in 1917. The Board is made up of seven physicians appointed by the Governor, consisting of |
| | five licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches and possessing the degree of Doctor of |
| | Medicine, one licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches possessing the degree of Doctor of |
| | Osteopathy, and one possessing the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic. The Board advises the |
| | Department and the Secretary on the qualifications of applicants for licensure as physicians in Illinois. |
| | To search for a doctor by name or medical specialty see the Physician Select Page at the internet site |
