Board of Regents policy (RP-1.1.1) states that:  

:''The Board of Regents employs a staff and faculty who have the professional competence to develop and operate the University's programs ([https://nebraska.edu/-/media/unca/docs/offices-and-policies/policies/board-governing-documents/board-of-regents-policies.pdf?la=en Board of Regents]).'' <br />

Consistent with being a world-renowned academic health science center, the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) assures the professional competence of its faculty by verifying faculty credentials before or upon employment and by regularly updating faculty personnel files to document current professional qualifications. <br /><br />

Academic credentialing is the process of verifying academic preparation and other characteristics that qualify an individual for appointment as a member of the UNMC faculty. Academic credentialing is completed before or upon employment and is an ongoing process following employment.  <br /><br />

Faculty personnel records are documents that provide evidence of professional qualifications and faculty personnel actions.  <br /><br />

Professional practice credentialing is the process of verifying the licensure, certification and all other information pertinent to professional health practice as a member of the UNMC faculty.
