Credentialing

[Guest guest]

I practice in PA and was able to get Credentialed fairly quickly. I think it helped that the hospital was actually looking for a full-time Acupuncturist.

I believe Hopkins is one of the most difficult one to pass the credential. It took them 3 months to review my certification, previous job references, CV, and background check. If you want to work in the clinic or hospital settings, they usually look at your certification, such NCCAOM for acupuncture, and ANCC for NP. I have 2 certificates for NP and NCCAOM for acupuncture. I think PA have their own certificate program. > >Sincerely, >Ta-Ya Lee, CRNP, LAc >Johns Hopkins Community Physician > > >>> askaliotis 06/06/03 02:51PM >>> >Hi Ta-Ya Lee: >How long have you been a NP & worked in that position at John Hopkins? >I ask because I am entering a physician assistant program this fall >and have been practicine acupuncture for 4 years.
