The California Medical Board today elected Long Beach City Council member Gerrie Schipske as Secretary of the Board, as well as a member of the executive committee, during its quarterly meeting in Sacramento. News of Schipske’s election was disseminated via a press release from her 5th district council office.
Schipske has been a member of the California Medical Board since 2007—the first and only registered nurse practitioner to serve on a state medical board. She is also an attorney.
The California Medical Board is the state regulatory agency charged with the licensing and disciplining of physicians. Members are appointed by the Governor, the Senate Rules Committee and the Speaker of the Assembly.
Additionally, Schipske was appointed as Chair of the Access to Care Committee and the Application Review Committee. She also serves on a hearing panel, the Enforcement Committee, the Education Committee and the Advisory Committee on Physician Responsibility in Supervision of Affiliated Health Care Professionals.
