In the US the physician's DEA number is a simple mechanism for validating this, but other countries have differing systems - more than we are ready to deal with just yet.<BR/><BR/>If you can contact us with the details of your non-US physician's national accreditation number etc, we'll be happy to grant full physician access for the duration of the beta-period, on the obvious condition that we will validate the supplied credentials at some later date.<BR/><BR/>Apologies for any confusion, and thanks for blogging about Curehunter.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Rick KnowlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
