Physician credentialing – what is involved in the process: Part 2 will discuss the application package and everything that you will need to know about it. After your interview was made, usually the recruiters will send the physician an application package with everything needed to apply for the job.

If you are going to submit an application, you will need to make sure that you send in all of your information that of which includes: all of your personal information, both of your undergraduate and graduate degrees, your licensure as well as your certification, you will need references, malpractice history and disciplinary proceedings and last but not least, also be sure to include your postgraduate training. All of this information must absolutely be included in your application package in order to make it a whole.

All of the answers that the recruiter is seeking must be answered in full, leaving them near question-less. You will also need to make sure that you send in a “Curriculum Vitae”, along with your application, so that the recruiter can compare the Curriculum Vitae along with the Application. Make sure that it is absolutely current before sending it in.

The next step is to make sure that you have completed what they refer to as a “Medical Scope of Practice.” This will determine which skill you should be placed in. After the Medical Scope of Practice, the recruiter will need to have all copies of every document that is required for receiving state or hospital licenses. There are several other processes that will need to be made, so make sure that you look into them. This takes a lot of patience, and make sure that you do it right!
