Too often, you face unnecessary roadblocks—not in the exam room, but in the credentialing and privileging processes that determine where and how you can deliver care.
Gaps in understanding these complex systems can lead to frustrating delays in onboarding, limits on clinical scope (especially in obstetrics) and ultimately reduced access to care for the patients who need you most.
The American Academy of Family Physicians’ (AAFP) new online course Credentialing and Privileging Continuing Medical Education (CME) for Family Physicians was created to close that gap. This course breaks down the essential documentation, institutional structures, and regulatory components that shape your professional practice, empowering you to navigate these processes with confidence and clarity.
After completing this activity, you’ll be able to:
- Understand how credentialing and privileging affect your ability to deliver care and define your scope of practice
- Identify the required documentation, timelines, and structures involved in maintaining credentials and privileges throughout your career
- Recognize how these processes differ across rural, suburban, and urban environments—and implement strategies to sustain comprehensive family medicine, including obstetrics.
Access this on-demand CME now and take the next step toward strengthening your practice and preserving access to care for families everywhere.
