Requests to send an AMA Profile to a licensing board
Regardless of AMA membership status, physicians may request their AMA Profile (view a sample PDF) be sent to a medical licensing board. A $40 processing fee is applied to all requests.
Access your free, secure, and digital Professional Portfolio
"My Professional Portfolio" offers all physicians—allopathic or osteopathic, member or nonmember—a more dynamic way to manage and store professional credentials data. The secure online portfolio will receive regular updates of expirable information made possible by AMA, sourcing this data from primary sources such as medical licensing boards, DEA, medical schools, ACGME-accredited training programs, the American Board of Medical Specialties and more. Physicians may add more professional data, such as work history and medical malpractice information, so that their data is available in one secure, digital location.
My Professional Portfolio launched May 20, 2026, and is free to all physicians. This new AMA offering serves as a quick resource for a physician when locating primary-source verified data that a physician needs when completing an application for licensure, privileging and/or payer enrollment.
It is always recommended that physicians review their Professional Portfolio before requesting that AMA send their AMA Profile to a medical licensing board. My Professional Portfolio uses an “AMA Profile” tag to indicate all data elements from the portfolio that appear on an AMA Profile. This tag helps expedite a physician’s review of their data.
Editing the Professional Portfolio
Physicians may edit their Professional Portfolio in real time. As you edit your Professional Portfolio, you will be informed how each edit will be processed by the display of a specific tag, which includes:
- “Will save to Portfolio” indicates your edit will display immediately after submission in your Professional Portfolio.
- “AMA review required” indicates that AMA data stewards need to validate your edit and/or verify the data with a primary source before your Professional Portfolio and AMA Profile can be updated. AMA strives to complete this review in under 10 days. However, more complex verifications may take up to 30 days to complete, depending on primary source responsiveness. AMA will notify you by email or in-app notification of the outcome.
Resending an updated AMA Profile to a licensing board
If any edits tagged as “AMA review required” result in a change to your Professional Portfolio, any AMA Profiles previously sent to licensing boards will also be updated. No action is needed from a physician to request a resend under such circumstances. Please note that these updates will only be made to send requests placed within a six-month timeframe prior to the update.
Checking submission status
After submitting any edits tagged as “AMA review required,” an email will be sent to you confirming your submission. You can also check the status of your submission when signed into your Professional Portfolio.
Protecting your privacy. Ensuring security.
As a privacy and security measure, AMA requires all physicians who request a self-inquiry profile to correctly answer a series of security questions based on information held within the AMA Physician Professional Data (formerly known as Masterfile). Physicians are allowed two opportunities to answer all four questions correctly before being locked out of the system. If locked out, please contact the AMA Member Service Center at (800) 262-3211, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Central. Upon successful completion of the security process, physicians will need to read and accept the AMA Profiles Hub licensing agreement.
