Remind trainees to put a professional foot forward when applying for hospital privileges
As directors and coordinators, you know how unprofessional, unfinished, and incorrect application materials can poorly reflect on medical students applying to your program. Well, medical staff professionals (MSP), those individuals who work in the credentialing office at the hospital, feel similarly when graduating residents and fellows submit their applications for appointment to the medical staff.
On HCPro’s Credentialing Resource Center, a MSP called out new applicant’s lack of professionalism when applying for a job. She suggests that the medical education curriculum include a session on the credentialing process and the importance of turning in complete application materials on time.
Even if you don’t have a formal training session for your residents about the credentialing process, you may just want to remind them that they should take extra care to turn in professional looking materials.
