Vermont Board of Medical Practice
Board Membership

The Board is composed of 17 members: nine licensed physicians, one certified physician assistant, one licensed podiatrist , and six persons not associated with the medical field ("public members").

The governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the members of the board. Appointments are for a term of five years, except that a vacancy occurring during a term is filled by an appointment by the governor for the unexpired term. No member may be appointed to more than two consecutive full terms, but a member appointed for less than a full term (originally or to fill a vacancy) may serve two full terms in addition to the partial term. A former member is again eligible for appointment after a lapse of one or more years.

Any member of the board may be removed by the governor at any time.
