Your online application will be electronically sent to the GME office of the institution you are entering. Your application will remain with the GME office until all paper credentials and documents arrive from the sources in which you have requested information. Once all required documentation is received, the GME office will electronically submit the online application and mail the paper credentials and documents to the North Carolina Medical Board for processing.

The GME office will coordinate the application process and act as a liaison between you, the applicant, and the NCMB. Unless otherwise indicated during the application process, all paper credentials and documents are to be sent directly to the GME office. If you should have any questions regarding the application, you should direct them to your GME office. Please do not contact the NCMB. Due to the large volume of applicants seeking a resident training license, the NCMB will not be available to speak with individual applicants and can only correspond with the GME office regarding the status. The GME office will advise you of any additional materials the NCMB may require.

There is no guarantee a license will be issued by the start date of your training. The processing of your application depends on many factors, including whether the Board requests additional information from the applicant or other sources. To avoid delays in the processing of your application, please read all requirements and instructions very carefully. You will be required to have a valid credit card (Visa or Mastercard) and access to a printer to complete the application. You may need to disable your pop-up blocker in order the view the forms required.

Some applicants may be required to meet additional requirements and/or meet with a representative of the Board or a subcommittee of the Board as part of the application process. This will not be determined until your application is complete and has been reviewed by Board staff. You will be notified through your GME office if additional information is required.
