ABOUT THE BOARD OF OSTEOPATHIC LICENSURE

The Board of Osteopathic Licensure attests to accuracy & timeliness of the data provided on its website. 

Data is transmitted in real time from the Board's ALMS database and is secure.

VISIT THE FSMB SITE TO START THE LICENSURE PROCESS 

We'll need a Uniform Application and an FCVS Profile completed at the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) site. Once completed you'll receive an email from noreply@maine.gov with next steps. 

Please feel free to reach out to osteo.pfr@mainebar.org with any questions.

Physicians initially licensed in Maine after February 2022 have had their medical education, post-graduate training and examination history primary source verified by FCVS.  Use of the Board’s website for documentation of primary source verification of education and training meets the current NCQA guidelines.

Important Information from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) - May 2023 (New report of this in DEC 2023)  The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning of a widespread fraud scheme in which criminals are posing as DEA agents. Scammers are calling doctors and other medical professionals demanding money, and threatening jail and revocation of medical licenses.

DEA personnel will never contact members of the public or medical practitioners to demand money or any other form of payment, will never request personal or sensitive information, and will only notify people of a legitimate investigation or legal action in person or by official letter. No legitimate federal law enforcement officer will demand cash or gift cards from a member of the public.

PMP personnel will never contact registrants to demand payment nor request sensitive information. Referrals of higher-risk prescribers are sent via email with official attachments or paper mail to the address on file on the PMP registration. Feel free to contact the PMP with any concerns: PMP@maine.gov, 207-287-2595, Option 2.
