Proctoring/FPPE is necessary to determine competency to exercise the clinical privileges granted to all new practitioners at your organization. This policy outlines the requirements of medical staff members for complying with FPPE and proctoring expectations.

Congratulations! You have been appointed to a medical staff leadership position at your organization. You have had contact with the medical staff services department (MSSD) over the years, but on some level, you realize that you are not quite sure how the whole thing works. It is imperative that you get it right because the MSSD can be your best supporter or your greatest opponent, depending on your approach. Failure to recognize what the MSSD does can result in a lack of collaboration, misunderstandings, and a misuse of valuable resources.

The Credentialing Resource Center (CRC) team is extending the deadline to enter the 2019 CRC Symposium Case Study Competition and the 2019 CRC Achievement Awards, two application-based contests showcasing excellence in the medical staff services and leadership fields.
