MEDICAL DIRECTORY NOW AVAILABLE ON-LINE
 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – The Arizona Medical Board and the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants publish an annual Medical Directory and Resource Manual (“Directory”) for distribution to all in-state licensees and for sale to the public. This year, the Boards are placing the Directory on their websites at no cost. Additionally, all licensee contact information will be updated on a quarterly basis, with the first update made in June 2004.

The downloadable PDF version of the Directory was included on the website as one of many value added services provided by the Arizona Medical Board and the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants. This addition comes just months after the Arizona Medical Board launched a system to search physicians by specialty and an on-line complaint filing process.

The licensee contact information provided in this year’s Directory is current as of January 2004.

Licensees who change office practice locations are required to provide a change of address to the Board within 30 days of the date of change. Additionally, a licensee’s home address and phone number as listed as the public address and phone number if they are the only address and phone numbers of record. Any changes made to addresses and phone numbers will be posted to the next on-line Directory quarterly update.

The Directory is also available in an electronically searchable CD-Rom version and a traditional paperbound version. Copies may be purchased for $30.00 each. No updates are made to the purchased Directories.
