About Us
The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure (KBML) is responsible for protecting the public by ensuring that only qualified medical and osteopathic physicians are licensed and initiating disciplinary action when violations of the Medical Practice Act occur. In addition, the Board regulates the practice of Physician Assistants, Surgical Assistants, Athletic Trainers and Acupuncturists in the Commonwealth.
The Board is self-supporting and receives no general fund tax appropriations. It is funded solely through fees collected from its licensees.
