McMaster PGME is responsible for maintaining training records of all current and former PGME learners. The PGME office is able to provide confidential composite verifications of training directly to credentialing and licensing bodies.

How to Request

Requesting physicians need to make a written request, and sign an authorization letter to release their information.

Requests for verification and authorization letters can be emailed to postgd@mcmaster.ca
