Final answer:

HFAP requires specific, approved sources for the verification of medical education and postgraduate training, typically including ECFMG for international graduates or direct verification from training programs in the U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) uses specific criteria for the verification of medical education and postgraduate training. While I cannot cite the exact equivalent sources approved by HFAP as this requires access to their latest standards, typically recognized sources may include the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for international medical graduates, or direct verification from the educational institutions and training programs themselves for graduates of U.S. medical schools and residency programs. It is important in the healthcare field to ensure that practitioners have received appropriate and verified training.

For specific guidelines on verification sources, one should consult the HFAP standards directly or contact the HFAP office. The legal documents cited, such as the amendment to the Public Health Service Act, are not directly related to the verification of medical education but pertain to the regulation and authorization of pharmaceuticals and biological products.
