Unlicensed practice drives three‑quarters of board enforcement caseload, staff say
Summary
Board staff reported that 75% of current enforcement activity involves unlicensed practice; members discussed limited remedies and citation caps that constrain cost recovery.
The California Board of Naturopathic Medicine told members on Jan. 23 that unlicensed practice continues to dominate its enforcement workload, accounting for roughly three‑quarters of new cases and straining limited enforcement resources.
Executive Officer Rebecca Mitchell reported 16 new enforcement cases in the October–December quarter: 12 unlicensed and four involving licensees. At the time of the meeting the board had 26 total pending enforcement cases, 16 unlicensed and 10 involving licensed practitioners.
