Ohio Board Actions (2021-2023)
Ohio medical-board action counts from the OMB public annual report (2023). Rates use this board's own licensee denominator (not NPPES). FSMB national rollups are cited only for scale.
Last updated: May 2026
Ohio's disciplinary counts come from the OMB annual report published at med.ohio.gov: 158 actions across 154 cases in 2023, against 48,000 active MD/DO licensees (3.29 per 1,000).
