Signature authentication
The CMQ offers the public an authentication service to verify the signature of its physician members.
Upon presentation of a document that complies with established standards, the CMQ has the responsibility to certify that the physician whose signature is shown on the document was, on the date the document was signed, registered on the Roll of Order and that the signature matches the specimen in their professional file.
