(The Center Square) — While the Georgia Composite Medical Board has addressed some shortcomings uncovered in a November 2020 audit, the agency has not progressed on others, including performing mandatory background checks for general physician licensure applicants.
The agency has “not formally implemented recommended policies, made changes to investigative forms, or begun conducting statutorily required background checks for general physician licensure applicants,” according to a new finding from the Georgia Department of Audits & Accounts. The findings are included in a follow-up to the earlier audit.
