Residency Credentials and paperwork

← Student Affairs

For all students joining a residency program after graduation, please be sure to read this article carefully.  Please also UPDATE your OASIS profile with your new residency mailing address. All questions about residency applications can be directed to Student Affairs, md_credentialing@cumc.columbia.edu.

 All forms that are required to be mailed, emailed or faxed from the Office of Medical Education, should be emailed to - md_credentialing@cumc.columbia.edu. 

Transcripts/Diplomas: Students are responsible for requesting their own final transcripts from the Registrar’s office. https://registrar.columbia.edu/content/transcripts

  • If the school is required to upload to the state portal on the graduate/alums behalf, they will need to order the documents and have them sent to md_credentialing@cumc.columbia.edu
  • Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, the university cannot respond to a transcript request without a legal signature. We are unable to honor transcript requests by e-mail unless the Transcript Request Form has a live signature and has been scanned and emailed.
Copies of diplomas are not maintained by the college or university. In order to have a copy of your diploma certified, you must provide a photocopy/picture of your diploma to the Office of Registration Services for certification by the Registrar. 

Copies are never provided to graduates directly and must be sent directly to the final recipient (i.e. residency/fellowship program director, hospital staff office, credentialing agency, licensing board, educational institution, etc.). Requests should be directed to Student Affairs through md_credentialing@cumc.columbia.edu.
