Hey guys, Anyone certified lately. How long does it ususally take once the OASIS system says that your credentials have been verified. Have a July 1 start date and am pretty anxious about getting this on time.

They send me a letter first stating that I am eligible for residency? That's odd, why not just send the certificate and save the paper? Is this something that I can have my PD ask for, or do I have to request it.....or they simply send it in the mail. All this red tape drives me CRAZY!!! Just hope I get it before the first. Matched at University of South Carolina Gen Surgery, yourself?
