Answers:
They aren't allowed to give out medical information without your consent.

However, if you asked them to write a note you gave implied consent for them to confirm to the target party they wrote it. If you did not ask them to write a note their reaction is not as clear...
...they may say they can't answer because technically they should not even be confirming you are a patient with them without your consent
...they may say they didn't write any notes for anyone in the past x days which gives no information about you

The latter is most likely if they get through to someone who is thinking on their feet.

Are you by chance trying to fake a sick notice and hopping the school won't find out.? If you are, you may be able to get a way with it, but that is a terrible thing to do. Talk about not taking responsibility for your actions... Yes, I think the college can call and ask about the note, but they can't look at your medical records. Medical records are not public, not even to people inside the medical profession. Several nurses were fired for looking at Britney Spears records. Health Question & Answer
