Idaho Medical Board Disciplinary Statistics
Aggregate annual disciplinary action statistics for Idaho medical licensees, sourced from the state medical board public annual report. Cross-checked against FSMB U.S. Medical Regulatory Trends.
Last updated: June 2026
Aggregate state board data only — NOT a determination of any individual provider's status. The figures on this page describe statewide disciplinary activity across all Idaho medical licensees in aggregate. To verify a specific provider's current license status, search the state board public license lookup directly, or use the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Docinfo verification service.
Detailed Idaho breakdown — coming soon
Granular Idaho medical board action statistics are being compiled. In the meantime, see the FSMB national rollup below for context, and verify any specific provider's status directly with the state board's public license lookup.

How to verify a Idaho physician's license
- Search the state medical board public license lookup. Every state board maintains a free, searchable public registry. Enter the provider's name or license number to confirm active status, board action history, and credential expiration.
- Use FSMB Physician Data Center. For multistate or interstate license queries, the FSMB Physician Data Center consolidates records from all 50 boards.
- Verify board certification separately. Board action records are distinct from board-certification status. See the ABMS Certification Matters public verification tool for board-cert lookup.
- Check the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) only for institutional verification. NPDB records are not public; hospitals and credentialing bodies query NPDB at hiring time. Patients cannot query NPDB directly.
About this data
State medical board disciplinary action counts on this page are sourced from the publicly-published annual report of the state medical board, cross-checked against the Federation of State Medical Boards "U.S. Medical Regulatory Trends and Actions" report. Counts reflect formal board actions imposed during the calendar year (or fiscal year, where the state board reports on FY basis).
Action type definitions follow FSMB standard categorization. "Revocation" means the license is permanently invalidated. "Suspension" is a time-limited removal of practice authority. "Probation" allows practice subject to conditions (supervision, restricted scope, monitoring). "Voluntary surrender" is the licensee voluntarily relinquishing the license, typically while under investigation. "Public reprimand" is a formal censure entered on the public record without imposing practice limits. "Restriction" limits the scope or setting of practice. "Monetary fine" is a civil penalty without other practice consequences.
What this page does not do. PlainDoctor does not investigate, adjudicate, or characterize individual disciplinary cases. We aggregate publicly-reported counts to provide statistical context. Individual case details — including the legal basis, the licensee's response, current appeals, and any subsequent reinstatement — are part of the public record at the state board and are not summarized here.

What this data shows
The most useful figure on this page is the actions per 1,000 licensees rate, because a raw count of board actions tells you almost nothing without knowing how many physicians a state licenses. A large state will naturally record more revocations and suspensions than a small one simply because it has more doctors, so the rate is what lets you compare states fairly. Even then, a higher rate does not cleanly mean a state has worse physicians. It often reflects how aggressively a board investigates, how it categorizes lesser actions like public reprimands, and whether it reports on a calendar or fiscal year. Most actions are corrective rather than career ending, and a single revocation can stem from paperwork or licensing-renewal failures rather than patient harm. Read these aggregate numbers as a measure of regulatory activity, not as a verdict on any one clinician, and always confirm an individual record at the source. See the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) U.S. Medical Regulatory Trends report for national context and the FSMB Physician Data Center, and verify any specific provider through the state board public license lookup.
