North Carolina Medical Board
Graduate Medical Education Training License “The practice of medicine is a privilege granted by the state.”
-from the Board’s Mission Statement
Dear Applicant:
A Graduate Medical Education (GME) training license may be issued to a physician, who is to participate in a recognized, fully accredited graduate medical program or an approved fellowship. Your completed application is to
be sent for credentialing to the GME Office of the institution you will be entering for postgraduate training. The GME Office will then forward the application to the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB) for processing and review. Once the application is received by the Board’s Office, there is no guarantee a license will be issued by the start date. The processing of your application depends on many factors, including whether the Board requests additional information from the applicant or from other sources. The trainee must be licensed before beginning training. This requirement will not be waived.
The individual GME Office will coordinate the application process. Any questions you may have regarding your application are to be directed to the GME Office. Do not contact the NCMB. Due to the large volume of applicants seeking a GME training license, the NCMB will not be available to
talk with individual applicants and can only correspond with the GME Office.
To avoid delays in the processing of your application, please read all requirements and instructions very carefully.
