Please Tell Me More – Obtaining Meaningful Information from Hospitals and Other Third Parties in the Credentialing Process

Obtaining information from the hospitals where an applicant has practiced, peer references, and residency or fellowship training programs in which an applicant has participated, is a critical part of the credentialing process as it allows a hospital to confirm an applicant’s current clinical competence and professionalism.
