Physician And Surgeon Residency Limited License

Washington State holds 1,363 active credentials of this type — 0.2% of every active health care credential in the state. Here is what that number is made of, and how to check one.

What kind of credential this is

A Physician And Surgeon Residency Limited License is a License — the broadest of Washington’s credentials. Where the state licenses a profession, it is generally unlawful to practise it without holding one, and the holder answers to the Department for how they practise.

That word is not a formality. Washington issues 304,441 active credentials in this form across the state, and it decides what the holder may do without someone else’s supervision. How a license differs from the others.

When these credentials expire

Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, so these 1,363 expiry dates are spread right across the calendar rather than falling together. By year:

How long these holders have been credentialled

The oldest Physician And Surgeon Residency Limited License credential still active in Washington was first issued in 2018. 1,187 of the 1,363 were issued in 2024 or later — 87.1% of the profession is that new.

The disciplinary flag

None of the 1,363 active credentials of this type carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

1,363 credentials of this type are active in Washington. 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.
