Board Now Recognizes Federation's Credential Verification Service: At its meeting held on February 20-21, 2004, the Board of Osteopathic Medicine voted to allow physicians applying for licensure in Florida to utilize the Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) to obtain and report his/her "core" medical credentials, in an effort to assist applicants for licensure with their licensure process.
The FCVS is a primary source verification service. Participation in the FCVS is not required for licensure. For information on how to establish a permanent lifetime portfolio of primary source verified information, please call the FCVS at (888) 275-3287 or visit their web site at www.fsmb.org.
The applications and materials are available for you to download directly to your computer. The files are in a PDF file format, which requires Adobe PDF Reader to download and will open in a new browser.
Effective October 1, 2007, the Division of Medical Quality Assurance will begin scanning fingerprint cards and electronically submitting fingerprints to the FDLE/FBI for background screening. The FDLE/FBI fee is reduced to $47.00.
