Physician profiles have been available to the public on the Medical Board of California’s website since 1997, as required by Business and Professions Code sections 2027 and 803.1. CMA encourages physicians to periodically check their profiles for accuracy and advise the board of any corrections, especially changes to their addresses of record.

The board cautions physicians against using their home addresses as their address of record, because the addresses become widely available to the public on the Internet. You may designate a post office box as your address of record but, by law, you also must provide the Medical Board with a street address. If you designate a P.O. box as your official address, the medical board will not make public your street address.
