Nevada Medical License & Board of Medical Examiners Help
We prepare and track Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners (NSBME) and Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine applications for MDs, DOs, PAs, and allied health — plus IMLC, credentialing, and clinic licensing statewide.
Getting a NV medical license without the back-and-forth
Nevada splits physician licensure between two boards: MDs and physician assistants go to the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, DOs to the Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine. Applicants routinely file with the wrong board, lose the fee, and start over.
We route the file to the correct board on day one, drive the verifications Nevada requires from every prior training program and licensing state, and — for physicians already licensed in a compact state — evaluate whether the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is the faster path into Nevada before anything is filed.

Nevada board lookup & license verification
Who regulates what in Nevada, and where to verify a license. Filing with the wrong board — or verifying against the wrong registry — is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes in state licensure.
Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners (NSBME)
Allopathic physicians (MD), physician assistants, perfusionists, respiratory therapists, and practitioners of respiratory care.
NSBME license lookupNevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic physicians (DO) and the physician assistants they supervise.
Osteopathic Board lookupInterstate Medical Licensure Compact — Nevada
Nevada participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. If your state of principal license is a compact member, the IMLC route into Nevada is usually materially faster than a standard application — we evaluate both before filing.

NV medical license FAQ
Which board issues Nevada medical licenses?
It depends on your degree. MDs and their physician assistants are licensed by the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners; DOs and the PAs they supervise are licensed by the Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine. Filing with the wrong board means losing the fee and restarting.
Does Nevada accept the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact?
Yes. Nevada participates in the IMLC. Physicians whose state of principal license is a compact member can typically reach a Nevada license faster through the compact than through a standard application. We evaluate both routes at intake.
How long does a Nevada medical license take?
A complete standard application generally moves in a matter of months, driven by how quickly training programs and prior licensing states respond. IMLC filings are usually faster. The boards control the calendar; we do not guarantee timing.
Does Nevada verify every state I have been licensed in?
Yes. Nevada requires verification from every jurisdiction where you have ever held a license, including inactive and expired ones. We identify and request all of them up front, since a single missing verification holds the entire file.
Can you handle Las Vegas MedSpa and clinic licensing too?
Yes. Alongside physician licensure we handle Nevada facility licensing through the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, business structure, and payer credentialing for new Las Vegas and Reno clinics.
Do you serve all of Nevada?
Yes — Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Reno, Summerlin, Sparks, Carson City, and statewide. All intake is remote.
Where is the Nevada medical board located and how do I contact it?
Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners — 9600 Gateway Drive, Reno, NV 89521. Phone (775) 688-2559, toll free (888) 890-8210. We are not the board; we prepare and track the file that goes to it.
How do I look up or verify a Nevada medical license?
Use the board's public license verification search at medboard.nv.gov (https://medboard.nv.gov/). Verification through the official registry is the only record employers, payers, and hospitals accept.
What does the Nevada board not handle?
Osteopathic physicians are licensed by the separate Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, nurses and APRNs by the Nevada State Board of Nursing, pharmacists by the State Board of Pharmacy, and facilities by the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
Does the Nevada board handle complaints and discipline?
Yes. NSBME investigates complaints against physicians and physician assistants it licenses under NRS Chapter 630 and issues discipline, which becomes part of the public record. We prepare and reconcile disclosure history; we do not represent anyone before the board.
