Texas Medical Board

Priorities for Republican leadership last legislative session have either been stuck in the courts or left to linger in the state rulemaking process.

The board reprimanded Dr. Mary Bowden last year after she prescribed ivermectin to a patient at a Fort Worth hospital during the height of the pandemic.

The course includes examples of when abortion is permitted to protect the life of the patient, but many experts say the complications women face in pregnancy are impossible to capture in a brief presentation.

The high court revived a three-time South Texas Republican congressional candidate's claims that the state's medical board unfairly disciplined him for calling himself a doctor on the campaign trail. He went to medical school but isn't a licensed physician.
