| | 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 for the American Medical |
| | Association. |
