IV.D.4. Federation Credentials Verification Service - FCVS

As part of the licensure process, the LSBME uses a service of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) called the Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS). Once a House Officer has applied for permit/licensure, the Program will complete an updated FCVS form yearly for each House Officer so that FCVS has a complete training record for each physician that will facilitate credentialing in each House Officer's professional career. At the start of residency, House Officers will sign a release for all years of training Approved by GMEC-January 2009.
