Current through 2024-13, March 27, 2024

1. Unless otherwise specified in this rule, all applicants for licensure must complete the process of verifying their core credentials with the Federation Credentials Verification Services (FCVS).

2. Federation Credentials Verification Services (FCVS) For Static Core Credentials

Unless otherwise specified in this rule, the Board requires that persons applying for a medical license use the FCVS to verify qualifying credentials which are static or do not change, such as identity, education and post graduate training. This verification process is conducted separately and independently by FCVS.

Unless otherwise specified in this rule, applicants must submit an FCVS application directly to FCVS on an application supplied by the Board or requested directly from FCVS and pay any required fees directly to FCVS. FCVS will then provide the Board with a non-interpretive "Physician Information Profile" containing certified copies of the applicant's credentials.

3. Exemptions to FCVS Credentials Verification. The following applicants are exempt in whole or in part as specified from the requirement of FCVS credentials verification:

A. Licensees holding active permanent licenses issued by the Board who apply to convert their licenses to administrative, emeritus, volunteer, or inactive status do not have to complete the FCVS process;

B. Applicants for an Interstate Telemedicine Consultation Registration;

C. Applicants who are recent medical school graduates and who apply for an Educational Certificate;

D. Applicants for Youth Camp Licenses must show proof of completion of the FCVS application prior to being issued a license. Staff may issue a license prior to receiving the physician's credentialing report from the FCVS. Staff shall review the physician's credentialing report from the FCVS upon receipt, and notify the Board if any concerning information is discovered; and

E. Applicants for Emergency 100-Day Licenses must show proof of completion of the FCVS application prior to being issued a license. Staff may issue a license prior to receiving the physician's credentialing report from the FCVS. Staff shall review the physician's credentialing report from the FCVS upon receipt, and notify the Board if any concerning information is discovered.
