4.3 Clerkship Credentialing Forms and Costs

You can download your criminal background check, BLS eCard, mask fit documentation, OSHA/Infection Prevention Training/Universal Precautions Training certificate, and HIPAA certificate from Evalue. Your vaccine record (immunizations summary) can be found on your MedProctor account. Please see the How to access your compliance documents webpage for instructions (see bullets 1 and 2). 

Forms

  1. Credentialing forms which require a signature from a “school official” in order to verify compliance with criminal background checks, BLS training, HIPAA training and drug testing and immunizations compliance can be sent to somcompl@uw.edu.
  2. TB Testing: While the UW SOM does not require annual TB testing, many clerkship sites still do. Please check your TB expiration before requesting a signed credentialing form. You can email HSIP myshots@uw.edu to have your TB requirement opened up so you may submit a new TB test. We cannot verify your credentialing until your TB test has been accepted and approved.
  3. Letter of Good Standing: this is generated by the SOM Registrar somreg@uw.edu and is available in your Evalue Personal Records profile (see bullet 4). The letter will not generate if your status is non-compliant. Contact us at somcompl@uw.edu if your letter is being held because of a compliance issue.
  4. For questions email somcompl@uw.edu

Costs and Reimbursements

Generally, the SOM does NOT reimburse for compliance and credentialing costs, with the following exception:

  1. CREDENTIALING PLATFORM COSTS
    The School will reimburse students for the cost of subscriptions to credentialing platforms when such subscriptions are required for onboarding at WWAMI clinical clerkship sites. Current platforms that can be reimbursed are CPNW (Clinical Placements Northwest), Clinician Nexus, and myClinicalExchange. Submit a UW Medical Student Travel Reimbursement Request for reimbursement.
