Establishes provisions relating to the practice of medicine

SB 1672 defines "the practice of medicine" in Missouri law to include examining, diagnosing, treating, prescribing, or performing surgery for any health condition (including cosmetic procedures), evaluating patients for legal cases, consulting physician responsibilities, using medical titles like "Dr." or "M.D.", and conducting human subject research without proper review board approval. It directly affects physicians, healthcare providers, and anyone using medical titles or offering medical services within the state. Key provisions clarify that licensed professionals may perform medical activities only within their authorized scope, but physicians must remain the primary responsible decision-maker for each patient's care and cannot delegate this core responsibility to others. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for medical practice without creating new regulations or funding. (Based on Section 334.011 of the bill text, introduced February 17, 2026.)
