Virginia Physician licensing

Virginia medical licensing process is pretty straight forward compared to anoher states. They also have a reciprocity which allows to expedite the process, but you must meet all of the qualifiers in order to be eligible. Board requires you to submit the Employment verifications, which can significantly slow down the process if you have multiple employers. Virginia Medical Board is also pretty backed up on the incoming mail processing. They run 15-20 days behind on it, meaning if you send in a verification it can only be looked at after they process the mail. If there is something wrong and the form needs to be re-sent you have to go through the same waiting process. We strongly suggest using UPS or FedEx when applying for Virginia license. Otherwise, board is pretty good on answering the phone and keeping you updated on the deficiensies with their online checklist. You should expect 2-3 months avergae licensing timeline.

Doctors of Medicine and Surgery, Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery and Podiatry that hold ACTIVE LICENSES with the Virginia Board of Medicine are required to provide information for these profiles. Other physician licensees of the Board, including interns & residents, university limited, international fellows, and restricted volunteers are not included in these profiles. If you cannot find an individual in the profiles search, you may perform a broader search with the Department of Health Professions' License Lookup. Other individuals that may appear in the License Lookup search include those with expired, suspended or revoked licenses.

Search Tips

1. The fewer parameters you specify, the larger the search results. Example: if you have trouble finding a particular practitioner in a certain City/County, try searching "All Locations" or "Virginia Locations".
2. If you're not sure how to spell a name, use just the first few letters. Example: for "Smith" you can type in "Smi"
3. If a name begins with "Mc", "O'", "Del", "Von" ( i.e. Mc Mann or O' Brien) or any prefix you may need to leave a space after the prefix. Example: if McM doesn't work try Mc M.
