Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has reappointed Swadeep Nigam to the Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine for a four-year term, reaffirming Nigam’s long-standing commitment to public service and healthcare oversight in the state. Apart from being a member of the Board, Nigam also serves as Secretary and Treasurer.

Nigam was first appointed to the Board in 2017 by then-Governor Brian Sandoval. He was re-appointed in 2020 by Governor Steve Sisolak and will now continue serving under Governor Lombardo’s administration through 2029. The Board of Osteopathic Medicine oversees licensing, regulation, and enforcement of professional standards for osteopathic physicians and physician assistants in Nevada.

Prior to his service on the Medical Board, Nigam was appointed by Governor Sandoval in 2012 to serve as a Commissioner on the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, where he contributed to advancing equal opportunity and anti-discrimination efforts statewide.

“I’m honored and grateful for the continued trust placed in me by Governor Lombardo and past administrations,” said Nigam. “It’s a privilege to serve the people of Nevada and support the integrity and excellence of our healthcare system.”

Swadeep Nigam brings over two decades of leadership experience in healthcare, public policy, finance & economics, and community advocacy. His reappointment reflects bipartisan recognition of his expertise and dedication to advancing public health and regulatory standards in the state of Nevada. Additionally, Nigam serves on the State Bar of Nevada’s Clients’ Security Fund Committee.

The Nevada Osteopathic Medicine Board is responsible for creating and enforcing rules that help carry out its duties under state law. This includes setting ethical standards to help determine when a healthcare provider’s behavior—though not considered malpractice—may still be unethical. The Board keeps detailed records of its licensing and disciplinary actions. Before taking formal disciplinary steps, the Board or its investigative committees may issue non-punitive notices, such as a letter of warning, a letter of concern, or a letter of admonishment, to a physician or physician assistant.
