I got the prematch offer from PA program. They have sent me all the required documents including PA temporary license form. I have following questions:
1. they have asked me to submit my full CV. What do I submit them? I mean my paper CV or ERAS CV?
2. how do I go about credential verification by FCVS?? I mean do I need any special preparation for this? What if they are not able to find my all LOR writers back in my home country? One of my LOR writers has long gone out of my medical school and I don't know about his whereabouts. I am an old graduate.
Thanks.

1. I think it doesn't matter if you submit your ERAS CV or another hand written CV! it is a matter of preference and convenience.
2. First of all, I think for PA licensure, it is not necessary (although optional) for you to get your medical education credential verified by FCVS. even if you want to do this (or if it is necessary), it has nothing (absolutely nothing) to do with LOR and LOR writers. They want to verify your medical education credential, not your LORs. Anyway, head to FSMB website (FCVS section) and start a new application. It is not that complicated. Good Luck!

hdurina84, are you talking about PA temporary license?? Why I am curious is b'coz many other states don't require residents to have temporary state license say for example NY state. So in NY state residents are eligible for H1b without temporary license.
What I am trying to tell you is that requirement for temporary license might differ from state to state but it should not effect once's H1b!!!
Anymore thoughts/input??

nani2004, Got the PA program just as anyone else is getting in to. I mean usual stuff like ERAS, applied mainly to east coast programs, got few IVs and prematches and finally choose this PA program out of all prematches.
