# Minnesota Board of Medical Practice *A Minnesota state board that disciplines physicians.* The **Minnesota Board of Medical Practice** is a state board in [[Minnesota]]. The project's claim:link record lists it, with its official web page as the source, as an "example HRLB" among 100 validated pairs filed under *Theory 12 — Procedural Due Process (Mathews v. Eldridge)*.[^1] The project's at-issue record carries one item naming the board. According to that item, the board suspended the license of the physician who owned a jail's medical vendor and had already sanctioned him in 2011. It also states that Sherburne had been buying his company's product for sixteen years by the time of the suspension.[^2] ## Who The board's public page is maintained on the State of Minnesota's website.[^1] The at-issue item identifies the subject of the board's order only by role, as the physician who owned the jail's medical vendor. The item's narrative text does not name him.[^2] ## What The at-issue item, which is flagged as a state board order, states that the board suspended the physician's license.[^2] It reports the board's finding of "careless disregard for the health, welfare and safety" of patients. It also reports a finding that lapses in his company's care contributed to a death in custody at a different county jail.[^2] ## When The at-issue item states that the same board had sanctioned the same physician in 2011, before the suspension.[^2] The record available for this article does not give the date of the suspension. It does state that Sherburne had been buying the vendor's product for sixteen years by then.[^2] ## How much The at-issue item lists a $30,000 fine with the suspension.[^2] ## In the at-issue record The at-issue item sets the board's documented output beside a public purchaser's conduct. On one side is the board's order: a suspension, a $30,000 fine, and findings about patient care and a death in custody at another county jail. On the other side, Sherburne had been buying the same vendor's product for sixteen years, and the board had already sanctioned the vendor's owner in 2011.[^2] The item is anchored to the White House presidential action *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025). The item states that the anchor applies to "a vendor the state had already disciplined, still under public contract".[^3] The record does not establish why Sherburne continued buying from the vendor after the 2011 sanction. It also does not establish what part, if any, the board's orders played in the county's purchasing decisions.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, *Minnesota Board of Medical Practice* (official agency web page) — the agency's public presence; cited in the project's claim:link row CL-Theory12ProceduralDuePro-68 as an "example HRLB" under Theory 12, Procedural Due Process. https://mn.gov/boards/medical-practice/ [^2]: Project at-issue record, item AI-Sherburne-012 (Sherburne package, *Sherburne_Jail_Brief*; flagged "ADJUDICATED: state board order") — states the suspension, the quoted finding, the custody-death finding, the $30,000 fine, the 2011 prior sanction, and the sixteen years of purchases.
