Verification

What is verification?
Verification establishes your credibility by signalling to the community that our team has confirmed your status as a licensed healthcare professional or healthcare student. Verified healthcare professionals and students can be identified by the checkmark badge next to their usernames.

How do I become Verified?
Becoming Verified is a simple process. When you register for an account on HCPFORUM, you can fill out a short form which asks for the location of your license, your full name, and your institutional email address. Our team will use this information to look up your license in a publicly available database. If you are a student, you will be asked to submit your name, school, institutional email address, and expected date of graduation. Any information submitted for verification remains private and is only used by our verification team.

Can I become Verified without an institutional email address?
In the absence of an institutional email address, we can accept a photo of you holding your workplace, student, or government-issued photo ID. We require this to make sure that the person requesting verification is really you. This information remains private and is only viewed by our verification team.

Why isn’t verification available for my country or specialty?

We are always working to expand our verification program to include more specialties and more countries. If you have suggestions on how we can confirm medical licenses in your country, please contact us.
