Is there a health practitioner regulation agency in the us?

See Below: The practice of medicine is guided by each individual state. Depending on state law, all heal care providers are governed by boards that direct the practice of each area. Nurses usually have a state nursing board. Physicians have a state medical board, chiropractors the same, podiatrists the same and on and on. Check on your state's governmental web site for web pages and information.
