Licensure

The obtaining and possessing of a license. States regulate medical and other health care professionals through licensure. To be licensed you must prove qualifying background education, appropriate training in your area and be free of felony convictions. The importance of licensure is that it somewhat regulates the quality of care provided in the state and gives patients someone to whom you can complain (licensing board) if there is a serious problem with your provider.
