Graduating Student Verification
Congratulations, Graduates! As you begin to prepare for the next phase of your medical career, your residency program may ask you to verify your medical education at Pritzker. Below are the steps you need to take to ensure this will happen.
Students who Matched in the State of Illinois
- You will receive a packet of materials from your new program that will contain an "ED-MED" form (i.e. Certification of Education).
- Complete the top portion of the form, sign it, and write: "CLASS ROSTER SUBMITTED" across the top of the form. Return it as directed.
Note: It is not necessary to submit the ED-MED form to the Pritzker School of Medicine (PSOM) for completion. The PSOM will submit a class roster to the Illinois Department of Professional Registration for all students who will need to obtain a temporary license in the State of Illinois.
Students who Matched in another state
- You may receive materials from your respective program that includes a certification or verification of your medical education to be completed by your medical school. That form should be submitted to Verifications at the address at right for processing.
- Please note the date the form is due at the licensing board and allow ample time for processing.
- Check with your individual program if you are unsure of their requirements.
Graduating MD/PhD Students
If it will take more than seven years for you to complete all three Step Exams for the USMLE, you may be required to provide additional documentation along with the medical education verification form. The PSOM will submit such documentation along with the verification form to the state's licensing agency regarding the extended time.
