Verification of training (inclusive of courses and clerkship rotations) is done for students enrolled in the MB.BS programmes as well as those who completed the programme, as may be required for local and international verifications (such as ECFMG, and FCVS). The verification ranges from general verification requests to more complex documentation. 

Verifications are done on prescribed forms and by way of requests submitted to the Undergraduate Office through its email account fmsundergrad@uwimona.edu.jm.

Process for Completing Verifications

Request for verification letters/completion of forms are made through the Undergraduate email, and processing will only be done once payment has been received. 

Payments for verification of documents must be made via bank transfer (submitted upon request).  Contact should be made with the Undergraduate Section regarding the request and the payment process. Processing of the verification documentation will begin once the receipt is submitted to the Undergraduate Section of the Dean’s Office. 

The following should also be taken into consideration when making requests for verifications:
Except for the MSPE which requires two weeks for completion, all other verification forms are processed within 5 working days.
If you have made applications for verification to local and international agencies, such as ECFMG and FCVS, it is your responsibility to keep in contact with the Dean’s Office to ascertain when documents are submitted to us as well as to be guided by the requirements for processing the requests.
Applicants are responsible for paying courier charges, where applicable.  The courier charges must be calculated at the existing rate at the time of payment, based on fees charged by DHL (or a courier service of your choice).

For persons requesting transcripts, the following should be noted:

Transcripts are prepared exclusively by the Examinations Section of the Registry on the Mona Campus. Persons may apply for transcripts using either of the following options:
Online via The UWI Electronic Services (E-services) at https://eservices.mona.uwi.edu/payment/  through which the requests for Transcripts and payments are made.
Direct request at the Examinations Section and payment made at the Bursary Cashier.

If the Dean’s Office is responsible for submitting transcripts to any verification agency, applicants must request, during the application process, that the transcript be sent to the Dean’s Office, Faculty of Medical Sciences, taking into consideration the process required for completing verification.
