Physician Finder
American Medical Association (AMA) site allows you to locate a doctor anywhere in the United States and certain territories if the doctor has a current license to practice medicine. Information provided includes when and where a doctor received their medical training.

Usefullness limited because you

  1. must search by individual state
  2. Listed address is mailing address and may not reflect actual practice address.
  3. Legitimate board certification of doctors by organizations other than the American Board of Medical Specialties (eg.. American Association of Physician Specialists) not listed.
  4. Information does not really help most people in choosing or learning about a doctor

In reality, this doctor finder is most useful for tracking down long lost physician friends or colleagues.

Medical Specialties
  • training required to become a doctor and a specialist
  • what an internship is
  • what a residency is
