Dr. Anderson Resigns from the TMB

Lawrence Anderson, M.D., a dermatologist from Tyler, Texas resigned as a member of the Texas Medical Board. Dr. Anderson was an active member of the Board and served on various committees of the Board, including, but not limited to the Executive Committee and the Ad-Hoc Search Committee for a new Executive Director. I am grateful for his service on the Board. There was no public statement to given for his resignation.

By law, there are 19 members of the Board, nine must be allopathic physicians (MDs), three must be osteopathic physicians (DOs) and the remaining seven are public members.

The Governor must appoint a new MD member, but there is no timeline to do so. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Board or wish to nominate someone, you can do so by completing an application from the governor's web site at www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/appointments
