Credentialing for Compliance

Student Credentialing
Student Credentialing services are provided by NEOMED Student Services and include the management of student health insurance, credentialing requirements and compliance, drug testing, criminal background checks, mandatory trainings and various immunization clinics. The staff ensures that the credentialing requirements identified by each of the colleges are communicated to and are met by NEOMED students in a timely fashion to ensure their progression and participation in all academic programs and experiential activities. Credentials may include immunizations, certifications and licensures, and training. Students should carefully review the section in the COMPASS regarding “Credentialing Requirements” and ensure that all credentialing requirements are met by the stated deadlines to remain in good standing in the program.
Immunization requirements are based on the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and our consortium hospitals and experiential sites. No student will be permitted to continue in the curriculum without meeting these requirements prior to matriculation. Each student is responsible for payment for all the required immunizations or titers unless specifically identified by NEOMED as a student-fee-covered credential.
Students must successfully upload all documentation to support each credential requirement into the third-party administrative portal called myCB (Castlebranch) where it will be verified and confirmed as completed. Additional instructions regarding myCB are available online.
Credentialing staff also manage the mandatory medical insurance requirement and provide the annual insurance enrollment or waiver process for medical insurance coverage. Students can learn more about medical insurance on the insurance website or in the Credentialing Module in the Navigate NEOMED course in Canvas. Optional dental and vision coverage are available as well. Information is available online regarding health insurance requirements.
