Primary Source Verification Packet for My Credentialing File: Seven Claims, the Office That Holds Each Record, Who Asks and Who Answers, the Releases I Signed and One Row With Nobody Behind It
Held Is Not Proved
A document in my possession, such as my diploma or a printout of my certification, is not proof for a credentialing office. Primary source verification means the office that created the record confirms it directly to the office that needs it. My copies are useful only to tell the verifier where to look.
The Packet
Table 1
Claims, Holders and Routes of Verification
| Claim | Office holding the record | Who asks | How it answers | Release needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master of Physician Assistant Studies conferred | University registrar | Hospital medical staff office | Degree verification service or registrar letter | Signed release on file with the registrar |
| Supervised clinical training completed, January to November 2026 | PA program director | Hospital medical staff office | Letter on program letterhead listing rotations and dates | Program release form, signed October 9 |
| Board certification as a PA | NCCPA, the certifying commission | Board; hospital; employer | Online verification of certification status | None; status is public |
| State license to practice as a PA | The state's medical board | Hospital; employer; payers | Online license lookup | None; public |
| Criminal history | Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, for the board | Board only | Result to the board | Consent form under Minnesota Statutes section 214.075 |
| Employment as EMT, August 2019 to June 2023 | County ambulance service human resources | Hospital medical staff office | Written employment verification | Release signed October 9 |
| Employment as patient care technician, January 2021 to June 2023 | Regional hospital human resources | Hospital medical staff office | Written employment verification | Release signed October 9 |
Note. Note. The DEA registration and National Provider Identifier will be added once issued; both can be confirmed through public lookups.
One Office per Claim
Each claim has one office that can prove it. The program can prove my clinical training; it cannot prove my degree, which the registrar confers. The board proves my license; it does not prove my certification, which NCCPA holds. Sending the wrong office a verification request wastes weeks.
Who Asks, and Who Answers
The hospital's medical staff office sends the requests. I do not. My job is to make sure every holder has my signed release and correct identifiers, such as my former name and dates, so that the answer comes back matched to me.
Permission to Answer
Registrars and employers will not release records without consent. I signed releases for the registrar, the program and both former employers on October 9 and kept copies. The board's background check uses its own consent form.
Each release names the office, the information it may release and the hospital it may release it to. A general release with no recipient is often refused.
Rows With Nobody Behind Them
One claim on my CV has no primary source: the volunteer medical transport driving from June to December 2024. The county program has closed and its records were not transferred. I have kept that line on the CV, because it is true, but marked it in this packet as unverifiable and will say so if asked. It is not a credential and no privilege depends on it.
Why It Matters for Licensure
The board can ask for any information it needs to evaluate an applicant (Minnesota Legislature, 2025), and a hospital will not grant privileges until each claim is verified. A packet that maps every claim to its source shortens both processes.

Reading the PA 603 Week 6 instructions
The sixth week asks for a verification packet: a working table of the claims in your file with prose around it. Each row is a claim, such as a degree conferred, training completed, a certification held, a license issued or a period of employment. For each, name the office that holds the record, who will ask for verification, how that office answers and what permission it needs to release the information. Make clear that a document in your possession is not proof. Each claim should have one correct office. The instructions also ask you to identify rows that no office can verify and say how you will handle them. Explain your role, which is enabling verification rather than performing it. Cite any rule that gives a licensing body the power to request information.
How this PA 603 Week 6 example is built
An opening section explains why a diploma in hand does not prove a degree. The table lists seven claims with holder, requester, route and release: the MPAS through the registrar, clinical training through the program director's letter, NCCPA certification through public verification, the Minnesota license through the board's lookup, criminal history through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for the board only, and EMT and patient care technician employment through each employer's human resources. A note adds the DEA registration and NPI later. A section explains one office per claim. Another separates the hospital as requester from the applicant. A permission section lists releases signed October 9. The volunteer driving row is marked unverifiable because the program closed. The last section ties the packet to licensure and privileging, citing Minnesota Legislature (2025).
Where the points sit in the PA 603 Week 6 rubric
Points in this packet go first to the difference between possession and proof. A packet built from copies the applicant holds, with no primary sources named, loses the most. Next, graders deduct for claims sent to the wrong office, such as asking a program to confirm a degree only a registrar can confer. Faculty reward rows that name holder, requester, route and release for every claim. Separating the applicant's role from the requester's earns credit. Signed releases, with dates, are graded because without them verification stalls. An honest row for a claim nobody can verify, with a plan for how it will be disclosed, is rewarded rather than penalized. A cited rule on the licensing body's authority, in APA form, completes the rubric.
Common PA 603 Week 6 mistakes, and how to avoid them
Verification packets most often fail by listing documents the applicant has rather than offices that can confirm them. Another common mistake is assuming the program verifies everything from the student years. A third is quietly dropping a claim that cannot be verified. If your history includes other claims, such as military service, a foreign degree or a prior license in another state, send them with your dates; a packet drafted for you would map each claim to the single office that holds the record, name who asks and how that office answers, list the releases needed and show any unverifiable row openly. If your course supplies a sample file instead, the packet would be built from that file.

PA 603 Week 6 questions, answered
Do I have to run the verifications to write this?
No. The deliverable is the plan and the pairing, not the returned answers, and most sections make that explicit because the real requests belong to an employer rather than to a student. What the example shows is a file somebody could work from: rows, holders, routes, releases, and a note where no institution exists to ask.
What happens to a row where the institution has closed?
That row gets prose instead of a table entry. The finished example names what replaced the institution where something did, or identifies the body that took custody of its records, and where neither exists it says so plainly and describes what else could stand for the claim. Faculty read those rows closely because they cannot be copied from a template.
Is this the same as the state application from earlier in the term?
They share documents and nothing else. The application is a form addressed to one regulator and completed by the applicant; this packet is a map of who can answer for what, built so that an employer's credentialing office can work through it. The earlier week is graded on fields and attachments, this one on pairings and routes.
Where can I find a free PA 603 Week 6 sample paper?
This page has a complete PA 603 Week 6 primary source verification packet mapping seven claims to the offices that can confirm them.
Which row cannot be verified in the PA 603 Week 6 sample?
The volunteer medical transport driving, because the county program closed and its records were not transferred, so it is marked unverifiable.
