MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD 

Because Nevada believes that the safety and health of the contestants must be of paramount importance, the state legislature created a Medical Advisory Board to assist and advise the Commission. 

The board duties include preparing and submitting to the Commission appropriate standards for the physical and mental examination of contestants, advising the Commission as to the physical or mental fitness of a contestant and recommending physicians to be licensed as ringside physicians for the Commission.

The Medical Advisory Board also prepares and submits recommendations for revisions in the law necessary to protect the health of the contestants in Nevada.  However, the board can only make recommendations to the Commission.  The Commission  must vote to adopt the recommendations of the board for the recommendations to go into effect.
