The second version of https://www.physician.fyi/ , a database of doctors and other medical practitioners with their disciplinary actions for patients to check. In this version, I’m expanding it to include all 6.5 million practitioners in the US, and integrating more data like how much doctors have been paid by drug/device companies. I’m planning on adding patient reviews/complaints too.
It’s the biggest and dirtiest dataset I’ve ever worked with, so it’s been interesting to figure out practical solutions to run things fast and generalize cleaning tasks. Of course it’ll be impossible to get every case (I can only match about half of the state licenses to national records at the moment), so I’ll have to figure out a user-edit/consensus system for the rest.
I noticed your physician-view is just raw JSON. I had time on my hands and this sounded cool so I whipped up a quick desktop dashboard [1] based on the JSON I saw. Feel free to use / adapt / reach out about it. Either way a great resource!
