Credentials
PAs in Alabama are licensed by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners. Alabama has joined the PA Licensure Compact, which will let PAs licensed in another member state practice here with a compact privilege; privileges are expected to open in early 2027. To prescribe controlled substances in Alabama, a PA also needs a Qualified Alabama Controlled Substances Certificate (QACSC) from the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, on top of DEA registration.
