Welcome to the AZ Board of Osteopathic Examiners in Medicine and Surgery

The AZ Board of Osteopathic Examiners is the official AZ state agency that governs the practice of osteopathic medicine in Arizona. The Board issues licenses to all doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.s), to allow them to practice medicine in AZ. Currently, there are approximately 2,700 osteopathic physicians licensed by the Board. The Board also regulates those doctors’ practices, to ensure that the medical care provided meets professional standards. As part of that regulation, the Board accepts and investigates complaints made against osteopathic physicians. On average, the Board receives, investigates and resolves about 200 complaints each year.
