What does malpractice judgment mean?

by liber(the poet);

Any lawyers in here? What does" A malpractice judgment has been rendered against the licensee by a civil court."mean?

and this also "A malpractice judgment is a payment for damages and does not necessarily reflect that the physician's medical competence is below the standard of care. The Medical Board reviews all such reported judgments and action is taken only if it is determined that a violation of the Medical Practice Act occurred. The Medical Board is prohibited by law from releasing a copy of the judgment report or any other information concerning the judgment. For more information contact the court of jurisdiction listed below."
what does judgment am mount mean also?

It means just what it says -- that the licensee was sued by someone for malpractice, and the person who sued won. It doesn't, in itself, prove the licensee did anything wrong, but it does mean that a jury was convinced that they did.
