HCPro Announces the 2016 Credentialing Resource Center Symposium in Orlando
Danvers, MA (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- The 2016 CRC Symposium delivers two days of engaging education and training taught by the industry's top credentialing and medical staff experts. During the event, medical staff professionals, physician leaders, and quality directors will focus on building and fostering collaboration to make their medical staffs more effective, interacting with each other and with speakers through discussion and collaborative problem solving.
