MedLicense and Spreadsheets Compared
A spreadsheet is free, flexible and familiar, and for a clinician with two licenses it may be all you need.
Where a spreadsheet is the better choice
- You hold very few credentials and renew rarely.
- You want to design every column yourself.
- Your organization already mandates a shared sheet.
Where an app helps
| Need | Spreadsheet | MedLicense |
|---|---|---|
| Reminders before expiry | Only with extra setup | Local notifications you schedule |
| Attached documents | Links to files elsewhere | Documents stored with the credential, encrypted |
| State CME rules | You research and enter them | Recorded data you can compare with, which still needs board confirmation |
| Packets for facilities | Assembled by hand | Exported as a ZIP, combined PDF and profile |
| Cost | Free | Free for individuals during early access |
A sensible path
Start with the free template, and move to an app when the reminders, documents or number of states become a burden.
Keep the whole file on your own devices
MedLicense is free for individual clinicians. It needs no account, and your records stay encrypted on your own devices.
