Who I Work With
The NPDB is a federal compliance obligation — not an isolated administrative process, but the point where credentialing, privileging, peer review, and institutional governance decisions enter the permanent federal record. Understanding what belongs there, what does not, and what it means for every stakeholder requires direct experience inside the system.
