By providing documentation from your residency or fellowship program, you can obtain AOA recognition for ACGME training.
If you completed your residency or fellowship training in an ACGME-accredited program you’ll need to obtain AOA training recognition if you plan to become AOA board certified. The process differs slightly depending on whether you are seeking recognition for residency training or fellowship training.
The first step of applying for training recognition is submitting the online application for AOA recognition of PGY2 and Fellowship training.
Your residency or fellowship training verification letter must be submitted by your program directly to the AOA. The letter must also:
Be written on institutional letterhead and include the date and the training program’s 10-digit accreditation number.
List your specialty, along with the exact start and end dates of your residency or fellowship training.
Include the title and signature of the program director.
Letters must come directly from your program via mail, email postdoc@osteopathic.org or fax 312-202-8375. Letters from applicants will not be accepted. View a template letter.
