New York Medical License Lookup

In contrast to many States that maintain disparate medical license verification tools that vary by profession, New York maintains a comprehensive Medical License Lookup resource for verifying licensure information for more than two dozen health professions. License verification information about physicians, dentists, pharmacists, registered nurses, practical nurses, physician assistants and various other technical health professions can be found with this reference tool, which is accessed at NEW YORK MEDICAL LICENSE SEARCH.

Although the NEW YORK MEDICAL LICENSE SEARCH tool permits license verification of pharmacy establishments and some health profession business entities, the State provides alternate lookup tools to find to find authorized institutional providers:

Information about medical licensing requirements and disciplinary issues pertaining to health professionals typically are available through Health Licensing Boards in each State. See the listings at U.S. Medical License Lookup for State by State resources outside of New York. Alternatively, go to Health and Medical License Lookup to find Medical License Lookup resources aggregated by functional area rather than on a State by State basis.
