Federal Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designations — geographic areas, populations, and facilities with a critical shortage of primary-care, dental, or mental-health providers.
State Professional Licensing & Disciplinary Records
Primary-source professional license rosters and disciplinary actions published by state licensing boards. Fonteum holds 7,853,561 license records across four states (IL, WA, CO, CT) and 128,342 disciplinary actions across four (IL, WA, NY, CO). Name- and license-number-keyed; the public extracts carry no NPI, so entity-graph linkage is deferred. Source:

"resourceType": "Practitioner",
"id": "state-license-example",
"_source": "state-licensing",
"_methodology": "state-licensing/v1",
"qualification": [{ "code": { "text": "State professional license" }, "issuer": { "display": "State licensing board" } }]
}This example documents a normalized shape; it does not establish that a FHIR endpoint or bulk export is available for this catalog entry. When a record includes _source, _methodology, snapshot-date, or confidence fields, those fields are nullable and delivery surfaces can return different subsets. Published bulk files are listed separately in the bulk manifest.
Fields in this record
What each field in the illustrative Practitioner mapping means.
The fields below are derived from the displayed illustrative FHIR Practitioner mapping. When a record includes source-metadata fields (_source, _methodology, and a snapshot date), they describe that delivered record. Those fields are nullable and may be absent from a response; identity fields key the record and data fields carry the measured values.
