This comprehensive workshop provides a high-level overview of the exam topics including credentialing and privileging; primary source verification; compliance with standards; and medical staff services operations reviewed from the perspective of a variety of health care settings including hospitals, managed care organizations, ambulatory care settings and CVOs.  Participants will work through a series of online modules supplemented with four live sessions facilitated by experienced NAMSS speakers.

The course includes comprehensive supplementary resources to help you prepare for the exam.
