• • Full legal name and contact information

• • Professional credentials and licensure history

• • Educational and postgraduate training records

• • Employment history

• • Government-issued identification

• • Documentation required by State Medical Boards or the DEA

Information is collected through secure online forms, encrypted document uploads, direct communications, and authorized third-party verification entities.
