Every applicant for licensure as a physician or limited permit to practice medicine must complete approved coursework or training appropriate to the professional's practice in infection control and barrier precautions, including engineering and work practice controls, to prevent the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus HIV and the hepatitis B virus HBV in the course of professional practice.
To ensure authenticity of credentials, the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions requires that your qualifications for licensure be verified independently. Its primary purpose is to provide a centralized, uniform process for state licensing authorities - as well as private, governmental and commercial entities - to obtain a verified, primary source record of a physician's "core" credentials.
By using FCVS to verify your credentials, you will establish a permanent repository of primary source-verified documents. Once your file is established, these documents will be available for your use at any time. The documents that FCVS verifies and stores for you fall into the following categories:.
Based on the verification of the above, a concise, non-interpretive "Physician Information Profile" Profile is compiled and forwarded to the entity of your choice. Based upon your request, FCVS will forward your Profile to state licensing authorities, hospitals, employers and professional memberships. Once New York State receives your Profile, we will evaluate your education for compliance with New York licensure requirements.
You pay FCVS a fee for gathering and forwarding your initial Profile, and only a processing fee for forwarding additional Profiles called "Subsequent Requests". Average processing time to collect and forward your initial Profile is approximately 8 weeks graduates from medical schools outside the U. Once your permanent file is established, Subsequent Requests are typically forwarded within weeks.
The FCVS is designed to benefit physicians in documenting their qualifications for a career in medicine. Most physicians will benefit greatly throughout their career by having their credentials permanently stored and easily accessible.
The direct verification procedures meet New York's standards and provide for transmission of credentials to other states for licensure purposes in future years.
However, FCVS services may not serve the needs of all applicants. With these two groups, establishing a Profile with FCVS may not meet short-term needs but may still be a long-term option for your impending career in medicine.
Therefore, applicants who are not required to use FCVS should discuss with FCVS the appropriateness of using its services based upon their individual situation. In addition, in certain circumstances where direct verification of credentials cannot be accomplished, despite diligent efforts by FCVS, it will be necessary for the applicant to work with the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions to obtain satisfactory independent verification of education.
You have two options whichever you choose, the New York State Education Department will determine the acceptability of your credentials :. Verifying organizations may take eight weeks or more from the date of your request to send the required independent verifications. The Office of the Professions cannot officially evaluate your credentials until we receive the required documentation.
Please consider this time factor in deciding when to submit your application for licensure. You must have your educational credentials verified by an independent credentials verification organization acceptable to the Department.
The FCVS credentials verification process is a process for verifying the authenticity of your educational credentials. It is not an evaluation process.
