See our Calendar for dates, and our brochure for more information.

Healthcare experts agree that an organization’s credentialing and privileging system is the foundation of quality patient care. While credentialing and privileging decisions are the ultimate responsibility of the Medical Staff and Governing Body, each group relies heavily on medical services management and credentialing personnel to manage an effective credentialing and privileging process, and serve as an internal resource for the medical staff and administration when credentialing issues are identified.

 

 

Edge-U-Cate is pleased to have sponsors of our educational programs, primarily the Credentials Schools and the Certification Focused Study Program. These sponsors support the education we offer to the medical staff services and credentialing profession across the spectrum. We appreciate their support both now and in the past.

"I feel very privileged to have been able to attend both the "Basics" and "Beyond the Basics" courses. The faculty have such a wealth of knowledge to help anyone succeed in the medical staff services field. The Credentialing School should be made a  requirement for this profession."

"Your "edge-u-cation" has been so useful with real application processes and credentialing problem solutions.  I have used many of the items/solutions from both classes to improve procedures and office management. Even my administration,  medical staff leaders, and surveyors have been impressed. Thanks you! Thank you!"
