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.
