Who We Are

All of the partners and faculty involved with Edge-U-Cate, LLC are or have been independent healthcare consultants and previously held positions in hospitals, ambulatory care, credentialing verification organizations, and/or health plans.  In addition to their coming together for the common goal of "education" and the creation of "Edge-U-Cate" to meet that common goal, most also continue to operate a separate consulting business to further assist clients and individuals with operational needs and assessments (see "Links and Resources" for additional information). It is from these hands-on consulting experiences, combined with healthcare employment history that they have been able to keep a pulse on the current educational needs of the profession.

In Memory of Past Co-Founders


Lynn Buchanan

Lynn Buchanan, CPMSM®, CPCS®

In loving memory of one of our co-founders and general manager for EUC.

Lynn had a passion for education, evidenced by her enthusiasm and dedication to put EUC on the map as a premier educational provider to those primarily in medical staff services and credentialing.  She co-founded the Credentialing School and taught most of its classes She also was an active participant in the Speakers' Bureau, presented webinars, and briefly managed the certification focused study programs.

She will be missed by not only her partners, current and past, but by all those who had the good fortune to know her.
