Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between credentialing and privileging?
Credentialing verifies your qualifications (education, training, licenses), while privileging grants you permission to perform specific procedures or services. This CV addresses both processes.
How far back should my employment history go?
Most credentialing applications require your complete post-training employment history. Include all positions since completing residency/fellowship, even if brief.
What if I've never had a malpractice claim?
Simply state 'No malpractice claims or actions' in that section. Having no claims is positive and should be documented clearly.
How many peer references do I need?
Most hospitals require 3-5 peer references. Provide complete contact information including current phone numbers and email addresses. Choose references who can speak to your clinical competence.
What happens if I'm missing information?
Incomplete credentialing applications cause significant delays. Gather all information before submitting, including exact dates, addresses, and contact information for all training programs and employers.
How long does hospital credentialing typically take?
Initial credentialing usually takes 90-120 days. Start the process early! Incomplete applications or delays in verification can extend this significantly.
