- Volunteer Physician Registry
This registry is intended to be used by clinics or other entities seeking volunteer physicians. The physicians on the registry have submitted a survey to the Board indicating they would like to volunteer their services. The idea for a registry was developed by the Board's Access to Care Committee and its concern with increasing the availability of health care in California. By creating the registry, the committee believes the Board is providing opportunities to physicians who would like to give something back to their community.
