If a physician has Malpractice Claims then the application has to go to the Malpractice Review Committee before being cleared to be processed by a Licensure Analyst. Until your file is assigned to a Licensure Analyst, your application cannot be deemed complete.

A similar process is in place for negative issues related to Educational, Licensure, Employment, and Personal History. This includes Leave of Absences, Probations, Board Actions, Disciplinary Actions, and Arrests. In the case of "yes" answers of this nature, a full review by the Credentialing Committee is needed. The Committee is suppose to meet once a month. When they do not meet on schedule, it delays the process.
