Using an analysis of data just released by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) on all disciplinary actions taken against doctors in 2009, Public Citizen has calculated the rate of serious disciplinary actions (revocations, surrenders, suspensions and probation/restrictions) taken by state medical boards in 2009.
Connecticut was one of the ten worst states with the lowest three-year rate of serious disciplinary actions for 2007-2009. Here is the list of 10 worst states starting with the worst:
Minnesota (1.07 actions per 1000 physicians)
South Carolina (1.09)
Wisconsin (1.59)
New Hampshire (1.65)
Connecticut (1.80)
Massachusetts (1.93)
Mississippi (2.17)
Florida (2.25)
Maryland (2.30)
Vermont (2.34)
