Become a Peer Reviewer for the Board
Every year, the Board reviews thousands of complaints and mandated reports to ensure Georgia’s physicians deliver safe, effective care. While our physician members bring deep medical expertise, we also rely on outside specialists—like you—to lend fresh perspectives and help us reach fair, unbiased decisions.
Why Your Expertise Matters
By joining our peer‑review team, you will:
- Fill Specialty Gaps
Some cases involve treatments outside the Board’s core specialties. You’ll use your clinical expertise—along with your specialty‑society guidelines and best practices—to evaluate complex care accurately. - Promote Fairness
Independent reviews strengthen public trust by demonstrating our decisions rest on impartial, expert analysis. - Leverage Professional Guidelines
You’ll have direct access to your specialty‑society’s protocols and standards, ensuring every review is evidence‑based and authoritative. - Support Legal Proceedings
Your written reports—and, if needed, your testimony—carry special legal protections under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 43‑34‑25), including immunity from civil and criminal liability for any recommendations or testimony you provide.
The Challenge & Your Impact
One of our biggest hurdles is simply finding enough qualified reviewers. By volunteering, you’ll help us clear backlogs faster and deliver timely resolutions for patients, physicians, and the public alike.
Compensation & Logistics
We value your time and expertise:
- $100/hour for reviews completed within 21 days
- $50/hour for each additional day
- If your review requires testimony, we offer:
- $1,200/day flat fee
- Reimbursement for reasonable lodging expenses
Minimum Qualifications
To serve as a peer reviewer, you must:
- Be a Georgia resident
- Hold an active, unrestricted Georgia medical license for ≥ 5 years
- Maintain board certification and active practice in your specialty
- Have a clean license and enforcement record with the GCMB
