Hospital Approval Process

All applications for an appointment to the Credentialed Professional Staff of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) must be approved by the LHSC Credentialing Committee. Subsequent recommendations are submitted to the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), which must approve the procedural privileges and recommend your appointment(s) to the Board of Directors of LHSC.

The approval process generally takes 6 to 8 weeks. All applications and supporting documents should be submitted at least 8 weeks prior to the anticipated start date. Late submission may result in a delayed start date.
