Practice Preparations guides you through a process of compiling and verifying the data necessary for training and practice. The process of preparing for practice should begin as early as graduate medical education/medical school, continue through residency and fellowship, and reach its culmination in practice.
If you intend to work alone in a private practice setting, or for a group as an employee or contractor, an extensive amount of information will be requested from you to verify such items as your education, licensure and credentials. Facilities (such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and surgery centers), government payers, commercial insurers and other professional organizations may request some, all, or even more information than detailed below.
The titles and category are listed in a sequence that may represent their approximate order of need and suggested completion. Click on each item, read its narrative, and utilize the embedded links for completion.
The Practice Preparations module can be used as a wallet to document your completion of each item, and to save applicable data generated from those items. To save your data,
