this is for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you searched <strong>medical board lookup by state<\/strong>, you&#8217;re probably trying to verify a physician&#8217;s license quickly, document the check for compliance, and keep the req moving. This page covers that specific workflow; the hub page linked below owns the broader topic and related state lookups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Answer\"><\/span>Quick Answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<dl>\n<dt>Core Answer<\/dt>\n<dd>Use each state&#8217;s official medical board or licensing agency site to verify license status and identifiers, then log the source URL and timestamp in your ATS.<\/dd>\n<dt>Key Insight<\/dt>\n<dd>State portals vary widely in what they display. Treat the state site as your final citation and use FSMB\/DocInfo to resolve identity when a board search returns ambiguous matches.<\/dd>\n<dt>Best For<\/dt>\n<dd>Recruiters who need a documented verification trail before outreach or submittal.<\/dd>\n<dt>Primary Page<\/dt>\n<dd>Primary page for this topic: <a href=\"http:\/\/heartbeat.ai\/resources\/state-license-lookups\/\">https:\/\/heartbeat.ai\/resources\/state-license-lookups\/<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Compliance &amp; Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This method is for legitimate recruiting outreach only. Always respect candidate privacy, opt-out requests, and local data laws. Heartbeat does not provide medical advice or legal counsel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_%E2%80%9Cright_site%E2%80%9D_rule\"><\/span>The &#8220;right site&#8221; rule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a verification record that a hiring manager or compliance reviewer can follow, use the state&#8217;s official medical board\u2014or the state agency that houses it\u2014as your final source. Record what the page displayed, along with its URL and the time of your check.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>state medical board<\/strong> is the state-level authority that licenses and regulates physicians, and in some states other clinician categories as well. Most publish a public verification page showing license status and, depending on the state, disciplinary history.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>FSMB<\/strong> (Federation of State Medical Boards) runs <strong>DocInfo<\/strong>, a tool that helps cross-check physician identity across states. It&#8217;s useful when you&#8217;re dealing with a common name or a physician licensed in several states, but your ATS note should still cite the actual state board or agency page you checked, not DocInfo itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-step_verification_workflow\"><\/span>Step-by-step verification workflow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Start_with_the_state_that_matters_for_the_role\"><\/span>1. Start with the state that matters for the role<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Verify the license tied to the role&#8217;s requirements, such as the practice location, facility requirement, or telehealth coverage area. If the physician holds licenses in multiple relevant states, verify each one separately and record each result.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Search_with_the_most_stable_identifier_available\"><\/span>2.
