Medical Licensing: An Obstacle to Affordable, Quality Care by Shirley Svorny


Home-> News & Events -> Medical Licensing

Dr. Svorny's article provides a thought-provoking argument that "licensure not only fails to protect consumers from incompetent physicians, but, by raising barriers to entry, makes health care more expensive and less accessible."

We received permission from the Cato Institute to post this article on the "For Members" section of www.fsbpt.org. To view this article go to "For Members"/ "My Board"/ "Role of Licensure". Licensing board members will find this article challenging to read, but well worth their time. It may help them reflect on the effectiveness of their role in protecting consumers of physical therapy services.
