We had centralized credentialing in Navy Medicine 25-30 years ago. Worked great–efficient with PCS, TAD, or Deployment. Privileging is always facility (clinic, hospital, platform) specific. A cardiothoracic surgeon sent TAD to a small overseas hospital will not practice to the full extent of his specialty because that small hospital lacks the ability to support that surgeon. So, they are privileged to the level of capability of the platform. What has happened since then that a new Bill needs to be introduced? CAPT Kenneth Schor, MC, USN (Ret)

Active duty is all local at the MTF. Reserves have centralized.
