Professional identity

- Education, residency, fellowship, and training history
For US locum physicians
Background checks without avoidable start-date friction.
Prepare the core locum file early: identity, license, board status, malpractice history, references, and facility health items. Verovian keeps this organised for role-specific credentialing.
Requirements vary by state, facility, and assignment. Nothing is shared without the right consent.
What may be reviewed
What facilities may request before a locum start.
Clinical and risk file
- Malpractice coverage and claims history
- Work history, CV gaps, disciplinary disclosures, and references
- DEA or controlled substance registration where the role requires it
Facility-specific items
- Criminal and exclusion screening where requested
- Immunization, TB, flu, fit test, or occupational health documents
- Drug screen, I-9, onboarding, and local compliance forms
Prepare once
A cleaner file makes each assignment conversation easier.
Keep your CV credentialing-ready
Use month and year for each post, include all training and work history, and keep explanations ready for meaningful gaps. This prevents back-and-forth when the facility credentialing team reviews your file.
Store license details by state
Track active license states, expiration dates, license numbers, board certification, DEA or CSR details where relevant, and renewal timing. This also helps match you to roles faster.
Have references ready
For locums, strong clinical references can prevent delay. A recent medical director, supervising physician, department lead, or peer reference is usually more useful than a generic personal reference.
Next step
Register once, then let your consultant keep the file organised by specialty, license state, and assignment type.
