GME Records for Closed Programs
When a graduate medical education program closes, physicians can lose access to records they may need for licensure, credentialing, and employment. FSMB preserves records from participating closed programs, helping ensure that proof of a physician’s training remains available throughout their career.
GME Closed Programs Information
FSMB permanently stores residency records from many closed ACGME-accredited programs, along with select AOA-approved and other training programs. This centralized repository gives physicians, medical boards, employers, and credentialing organizations continued access to verified post-graduate medical education records.
Participating programs confirm that the records they transfer are accurate and unchanged from the originals. Verification provided by FSMB meets the primary-source requirements of state medical boards, JCAHO, NCQA, and URAC.
In addition, ACGME has shared FSMB’s records-retention information on its website, and you can read the full message here.
Programs interested in storing records with FSMB may call (817) 868-5162 or email us at closedprograms@fsmb.org to learn more.
Physicians and Credentialing Organizations
FSMB maintains records from many closed residency programs and provides verified training information for licensure, credentialing, employment, and other professional needs.
All verifications are completed using the Verification of Graduate Medical Education Training format. Records that must be converted from paper to digital files may require additional processing time.

The third-party verification fee is $60 per program, for each verification destination. This fee includes a digital copy of the primary source equivalent of the training credential.
