At MediCalc, our mission is to provide trusted clinical calculators and decision-support tools for healthcare professionals. To help maintain the integrity of our platform and support the responsible use of medical resources, we operate a healthcare professional (HCP) verification process.
Why We Verify Healthcare Professionals
Many of the calculators and clinical tools available on MediCalc are intended to support healthcare professionals in everyday clinical practice. By verifying users, we aim to create a trusted environment where clinicians can confidently access professional resources while helping to protect the integrity of the platform.
Verification also enables us to better understand our clinical community, improve the relevance of future features, and develop tools tailored to different healthcare professions and specialties.
Importantly, verification is not intended to restrict access to medical knowledge. Rather, it helps ensure that professional features, educational resources, and future services are made available to appropriately identified healthcare users.
How Verification Works
Healthcare professionals create a MediCalc account using their professional details. Depending on the country or profession, verification may involve one or more methods, including:
- Registration numbers issued by recognised professional regulators.
- Cross-checking publicly available professional registers where available.
- Verification of professional email domains.
- Manual review where automated verification is not currently possible.
- Additional supporting information where required.
Verification methods vary between countries because healthcare registration systems differ around the world. MediCalc continually reviews and expands its verification processes as additional professional registers become available.
A Global Healthcare Community
Healthcare professionals use different regulatory bodies depending on their profession and country of practice. MediCalc is designed to support a growing international community of clinicians, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, and other registered healthcare practitioners.
As the platform evolves, additional verification pathways will be introduced to improve coverage across more countries and professional groups.
Protecting Your Privacy
We recognise that professional information must be handled responsibly. Information submitted during registration and verification is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our Privacy Policy.
Professional registration details are used solely for verification and account administration purposes. We do not publicly display registration numbers, and we do not sell or share personal information with third parties for advertising purposes.
Access to verification information is restricted to authorised personnel and protected using appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
Building Trust
Verification helps us maintain a professional environment where healthcare users can access reliable clinical tools with confidence. As MediCalc continues to develop, verified accounts may gain access to additional professional features, personalised dashboards, educational resources, continuing professional development opportunities, and other services designed specifically for healthcare professionals.
Our goal is to build a platform that clinicians can trust—not only because of the quality of our calculators, but also because of the integrity of the community that uses them.
Healthcare professional verification is one of the ways MediCalc supports that commitment to quality, security, and responsible clinical practice.
