How Maryland Physician (MD) license verification works
A Physician (MD) in Maryland is licensed by the MD 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: name license_number license_type status issued expires pathway practice_setting public_address education graduation_year medicaid malpractice_insurance maryland_orders disciplinary_md disciplinary_other_states pending_charges other_public_actions malpractice convictions data_as_of.
Board note: Board of Physicians profile search (ASP.NET WebForms, no captcha); number = letter + 7 digits (physician D/H/X/T, PA C, respiratory L); DO licence-type wording not yet observed (matched on 'Osteopath'); name search is last-name prefix

Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and multistate Physician (MD) licenses
