Check the person’s licence
A physician assistant provides medical care but is not a doctor. In Idaho, the medicine board issues their licence.
Ask a physician assistant: “Will you examine me, and are you allowed to prescribe the medicine you are offering?”
As of September 2026, Idaho’s licensing office lets you look up pharmacies, nurses, physician assistants and doctors at no charge.
Use the Idaho medicine board for doctors and physician assistants. Use the Idaho nursing board for nurses. Use the Idaho pharmacy board for the pharmacy that supplies your medicine.
On each board’s page, choose the licence-search link and enter the full name you were given.
A clean record means no action taken against the licence is listed publicly. It does not tell you whether anyone has complained or how good the care is.
