Training Verification

On-Line Verification System

Welcome to the McGovern Medical School Department of Emergency Medicine Online Verification System.

For assistance with other specialties, please contact the individual Department by clicking on the following link: https://med.uth.edu/gme/program-leadership/program-coordinators/coordinator-contact-list/

A charge of $75.00 will be assessed for each standard letter of verification, payable via credit card using our on-line payment portal, or by check, if submitting the request by US mail. This charge is in place to offset the cost of fees we commonly incur while credentialing our own incoming Residents and Fellows. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If the resident and fellow has graduated in the last two years, please skip the payment process and submit the Consent to Release of Information and Release of Liability form to the email or address below. Please contact our department for details on how to obtain this form.
