How we make credible expertise visible

Known Practice verifies licenses and credentials while showing the specific evidence behind each area of expertise. We don't use one generic “verified” badge. Each specialty carries a distinct evidence designation so you can judge what actually stands behind a clinician's claim.

01

Provider shares areas and background

Providers choose up to five areas and may share a CV or evidence packet once. Reviewers can request more information. Claims are not shown as verified until approved.

02

Administrator reviews

Our team reviews the submitted information and assigns one of five evidence designations. If more detail is needed, we’ll ask the provider directly. Providers cannot assign their own.

03

License independently verified

License type, number, and jurisdiction are checked against the issuing authority before a profile can be published.

04

Availability confirmed weekly

Providers reconfirm real recurring openings every seven days. Unconfirmed availability quietly falls out of “available now.”

The five evidence designations

From independently verified certification to a provider-reported focus — clearly distinguished, never blurred.

Level 1Certification

Certification Verified

An independent certifying body has verified this credential, and the certification has been confirmed.

Level 2Formal Training

Formal Training Verified

Documentation of formal training in this approach has been reviewed and confirmed.

Level 3Focused Experience

Focused Experience Reviewed

Focused clinical experience reviewed based on information submitted by the provider.

Level 4Provider-Reported

Provider-Reported Clinical Focus

Provider-reported clinical focus; no separate specialty credential has been verified.

Level 5Pending Review

Evidence Pending Review

Evidence has been submitted and is awaiting administrator review.

License verification is separate. A verified license means the clinician is licensed to practice — it does not verify every specialty claim. Each specialty carries its own evidence designation.
