§ 2451 Osteopathic Board References

• •When the law says 'Medical Board of California' or 'board', it can also mean the 'Osteopathic Medical Board of California' in some cases.
• •This only applies when the Osteopathic Medical Board is doing the jobs given to it by the Osteopathic Act.
• •It's like when you have two different groups at school doing similar jobs, but this rule helps tell which group is in charge.

Imagine there are two groups at school: the 'Science Club' and the 'Robotics Club'. Sometimes, when the rules say 'Science Club', they might actually mean the 'Robotics Club' if the Robotics Club is doing a science project.

In the same way, when the law talks about the 'Medical Board of California', it might really mean the 'Osteopathic Medical Board of California' if that board is handling something related to osteopathic medicine.
