How Ohio Physician Assistant license verification works
A Physician Assistant in Ohio is licensed by the OH 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 name board license_type status sub_status sub_category board_action issued effective expires compact address endorsements specialties national_certifications.

PA Licensure Compact and multistate Physician Assistant licenses
