Verification of Postgraduate Training
If you need verification of postgraduate training in medical internship, residency, or fellowship, please provide the required documents and information listed below. This verification only applies to training completed at the Madigan Army Medical Center. This military training facility is also responsible for verifying postgraduate training completed at the following facilities listed below:
- Letterman Army Medical Center in the Presidio of San Francisco, California, which was closed in 1991
- Silas B. Hayes Hospital in Fort Ord, California, which was closed in 1993
NOTE: Graduate Medical Education training records from LAMC and SBH were transferred to the Madigan Army Medical Center as a permanent location for verification of training. Regrettably, sometimes, the only existing records these medical facilities provide are a composite of names and training dates.
Required Information:
- Authorization for Release of Information
- Physician’s Full Name, including any names used during training (e.g., maiden name)
- Specialty/Program Completed
- Training Dates (Start and End Dates)
