Detect MEDICAL_LICENSE #12

Open zjpittman opened 3 weeks ago

zjpittman commented 3 weeks ago

Description

Every medical specialist has to obtain a medical license to legally practice.

Detection Steps

There are many different patterns for medical license numbers. Using regular expressions to pattern match the most common medical lisence numbers will be the best course of action. In North Carolina the medical license numbers contain 5-6 numbers and no letters. Those are examples of patterns I will check for.

@zjpittman do you have any references to what sort of checksum you might want to implement?

This was actually a typo. Thanks for reminding me. I was going to do checksum and soon realized that would be too complex for this type of project.

@troylion What are your thoughts on this?

Looks good! Very clear description. The use of regular expressions for detecting medical license numbers looks good. Just wondering if different variations in patterns across different states would be accounted for?
