Training Verification

Welcome to the McGovern Medical School Department of Internal Medicine Verification System. The Internal Medicine Residency Program provides training verifications for former residents who have completed their medical education.

To process a verification request, the following documents are required:

  • A Consent to Release of Information and Release of Liability form (signed by the alum),
  • A Training Verification Request Form, and
  • Payment, if applicable (details below).

Please review the instructions and requirements below before submitting your request. To help offset the administrative costs associated with credentialing, a fee is charged for verification requests. Fees are based on: (1) the number of years since the individual completed their training, and (2) the type of verification requested.

Note: If the resident graduated within the past two (2) years, no payment is required. Submit the signed Consent to Release of Information and Release of Liability form via email or by the mailing address listed below.
