Application Submitted!

I am happy to announce that everything is continuing to move along with our sports residency. Our resident has now been with us for almost 4 months and a month and a half ago I submitted our application for credentialing! Sending the 5 binders felt amazing after all of the work that went into them.

I spent the first 2 months of the residency preparing the credentialing document and  getting the resident all set in her schedule and have continued to make weekly adjustments to her schedule based on what sports teams we have playing where. She has been able to get a good amount of experience with 2 different high schools that are operated very differently.  I feel that we have adjusted into the resident’s mentoring schedule well and everything seems to be going smoothly on a daily basis. I am starting to look towards her winter and spring schedule and feel this will pose a good challenge to be sure that all of the program goals are achieved prior to her finishing next summer.

I was fortunate to have 3 other clinicians look over the credentialing document prior to its submission and they all picked up on good areas to adjust and clarify prior to mailing everything. After staring at the document for so long it was great to have fresh sets of eyes on the document. I only had details to add to the credentialing document by the time the resident started which was helpful to have the bulk of the document already completed. My main area of focus was on all of the forms needed for the final section. These were much easier to formulate once I had a person here and was able to figure out what worked best for our facility and program.

I am now anxiously awaiting word from ABPTRFE on how the initial review went and am hoping a site visit is in our near future!
