Oana's clinicians hold the credentials required to practice medicine in their states of licensure, with additional experience and training in women's health and PCOS-specific care.
Standard credentials across the clinical team:
- Medical degree (MD or DO) or advanced practice degree (NP, PA) from accredited US medical schools or training programs
- Residency training completed in family medicine, internal medicine, women's health, or related specialties
- Active state medical licenses in the states where they practice. Licenses are verified through state medical boards and renewed according to each state's requirements.
- Board certification where applicable many Oana clinicians are board-certified in their primary specialty
- DEA registration for clinicians who prescribe controlled substances (when applicable to their practice)
- Continuing medical education completed annually as required by their state licenses
PCOS-specific qualifications:
Beyond standard credentials, Oana clinicians have:
- Significant clinical experience treating PCOS and hormonal conditions meaning the protocols, the medication selection, and the symptom evaluation aren't new territory
- Familiarity with the off-label uses common in PCOS care including Spironolactone for hormonal acne and hirsutism, Oral Minoxidil for hair loss, Metformin for women without diabetes, and GLP-1 medications in the PCOS context
- Experience with telehealth as a clinical model including how to evaluate symptom patterns, gather complete histories, and coordinate care through asynchronous messaging
Credentialing process:
Before joining Oana, every clinician goes through a thorough credentialing review that includes:
- License verification with state medical boards
- Education and residency verification
- Background check
- Review of any disciplinary history
- Reference checks
- Telehealth practice experience review
This is the same credentialing standard applied across reputable telehealth platforms — and it's part of what allows Oana clinicians to safely treat patients without in-person visits.
If you have specific questions about the clinician reviewing your case — their credentials, specialty training, or experience — you can ask through your account messaging.
