JUDICIARY & ETHICS COMMITTEE
The Department of Judiciary and Ethics (also known as the “Grievance
Committee”) is the officially constituted peer review body of the MOA.
The Grievance Committee is composed of osteopathic physicians, representing general medicine and specialties, appointed by the Board of Trustees of the MOA. These physicians are volunteers who meet periodically to review and meditate or adjudicate specific patient complaints and other matters involving the conduct and ethics of osteopathic physicians.
The Grievance Committee is also available to issue advisory opinions in cases pending before the Board of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery (BOMS). In order for the Grievance Committee to issue an advisory opinion: 1. the cases must be voluntarily submitted by both parties (i.e. BOMS and the physician being investigated); 2. both parties must sign agreements to hold the Grievance Committee harmless for its good faith advisory opinion; and 3. the Grievance Committee must determine that the case is appropriate for its review.
