Credentialing Payroll and Employee Health - Prospective Residents and Fellows

Credentialing

It is University of Maryland Medical Center's policy to fully credential all residents and fellows who provide patient care in the institution. Successful completion of the credentialing process is required prior to your participation in a residency or fellowship program and is also required as part of your contractual obligation.

If you have been accepted into a University of Maryland Medical Center program, you will receive an email directing you to the online credentialing application process.
