How Alabama Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Alabama is licensed by the AL Medical Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.
Fields returned for this board: license_number license_type license_subtype status issued expires public_actions medical_school medical_school_dates specialty schedules supervising_physician license_suffix name.
