Poll question: Reimbursing for practitioner certifications
The American Board of Medical Specialties approved a new medical specialty for treating child abuse last month. This move highlights the importance practitioners place on regulating their work through certification programs. Medical staffs also value certifications and sometimes make them a privileging requirement.
In this week’s poll question we want to know if your organization helps pay for these certifications. Take the poll below and see how your facility compares to others.

Hello Cynthia,
Here at the organization I work for reimbursement is done for certifications, education or training. A physician or mid-level provider is reimbursed $3000 annually. Along with the money, the organization also awards the same group 5 days off to attend conferences or training.
Hope this information help you.
If you need anything else, let me know.
Yours Truly,
Pamela Stone
