Each state has its own rules for licensing doctors. The Federal Government has nothing to do with it. However, if a doctor loses his license to practice in one state, it is difficult for him to get a license to practice in another state. Complaints against the doctor are investigated. Then the state board may decide to interview him. Some doctors have their privileges cut back. They can no longer prescribe schedule 2 medicines. They lose hospital privileges. Others lose their licenses it depends on the decisions of the medical boards.
