                           Greetings Incoming Trainees!

Credentialing FAQs

  • LICENSURE
    Your license will be issued in whatever name is listed on your social security card. We are required to credential you in your legal name. Your e-mail account, white coat, EMR profile, ID badge, etc. must all reflect your legal name. We cannot accommodate nicknames, or substitute middle names for first names, etc. If you plan to change your legal name before you begin work (ie, marriage) please alert our Credentials Coordinator so that we can assist you in completing the following paperwork appropriately. The GME Office will pay for your Virginia State Training License. Do not send payment.


  • CREDENTIALS
    Please be aware that, per policy, we credential physicians according to the degree conferred by their medical school. For example, D.O. for Doctor of Osteopathy, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, M.B.B.S., Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, etc. While all of these degrees use the prefix “Dr.” the credentials you earned are the ones that must be used for identification purposes. For example, we will not substitute “MD” for a trainee who has earned an “MBBS” degree.

  • Basic Life Support Training

    BLS training is required of all GME trainees. Many programs also require additional advanced life support certification--please verify your program's requirements with your program coordinator. Because we cannot accommodate all incoming trainees in courses here, you are strongly encouraged to obtain the required training at your current institution. The GME Office will reimburse the cost of any required training once you begin work; please bring receipts from this training to orientation.
