How to Find Out What Schools My Doctor Attended

The American Medical Association maintains a database of more than 814,000 licensed physicians in the United States that is accessible to patients through the site's Doctor Finder system. AMA-member doctor listings include a full educational history along with license information, special certifications, insurance partners and office contact information and hours. If you are unable to locate your doctor's information, a phone call to the doctor's hospital or local state agency will be the fastest way to find the information.
