Physician And Surgeon License first issued in 2011

703 of Washington’s 31,099 active physician and surgeon license credentials — 2.3% of them — were first issued in 2011.

The 2011 intake, and where it stands now

These 703 people were first credentialled as physician and surgeon license during 2011 and are still active today. A first-issue year is the closest thing this register has to a start date: it says when the Department first recognised someone in this role, not how long they have worked in health care.

3 of the 703 active credentials in this group carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.4% — and 9 carry one marked pending.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.

Do not let the date pass

703 credentials of this type were first issued in 2011. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
