Indiana Physician Workforce Dashboards
Indiana physicians are a critical part of Indiana’s health care system. Indiana physicians renew their medical license every two years under the Indiana Medical Licensing Board. At that time, they provide information on their mailing address, any disciplinary action, and their citizenship status.

About the Dashboards
SEA 223: Standardizing data collection
The data that is regularly collected by physicians on license renewal to support regulatory processes is minimal and would not be sufficient to inform physician workforce policy and planning. Fortunately, Indiana has robust information available on Indiana physicians (thanks to SEA 223). The standardized collection of data from physicians during license renewal enables the state to conduct analyses and inform the creation of policies and programs for physicians that are based on high-quality workforce data.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs) as “a classification scheme that distinguishes metropolitan counties by the population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan counties by degree of urbanization and adjacency to a metro area.” For more information on the definition of RUCCs, go to https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/rural-urban-continuum-codes/documentation/
