Public Citizen just released a study that ranks the "best" and "worst" medical disciplinary boards in the country. Minnesota is ranked second to last, right above South Carolina and right below Wisconsin, South Dakota and Nevada. According to Public Citizen, the "best" state is Kentucky. The ranking is based on the per capita number of serious disciplinary actions.
While it does seem odd that there are so few disciplinary actions, is that really the right measure for the effectiveness of a board or the Minnesota's doctors? Perhaps we just have fewer incompetent doctors than Kentucky.
