Frequently asked questions
How is APP credentialing different from physician credentialing?
APP credentialing focuses on your nursing or physician assistant education, national certification, prescriptive authority, and collaborative practice agreements. The process considers APP scope of practice regulations that vary by state.
Do I need a collaborative practice agreement?
Requirements vary by state. Many states require NPs and PAs to have collaborative practice agreements or supervision arrangements with physicians. Document these clearly in your credentialing CV.
What privileges can APPs request?
APP privileges depend on your specialty, training, state scope of practice laws, and facility policies. Common privileges include admitting patients, writing orders, performing procedures within your training, and prescribing medications.
Should I include my nursing or undergraduate education?
Yes, include your complete educational background including your nursing degree (for NPs) or undergraduate degree (for PAs), your advanced practice degree (MSN, DNP, or PA degree), and any additional certifications.
How do I demonstrate my clinical competencies?
Document your clinical training during your NP or PA program, preceptorship experiences, and post-graduation clinical practice. Include procedures you're competent to perform and patient populations you're trained to treat.
What if I'm changing specialties as an APP?
Clearly document any additional training, certification, or experience in your new specialty. You may need post-graduate certificates or additional supervised practice to credential in a significantly different specialty.
