What is the State of Connecticut Emergency Credentialing Program for Healthcare Professionals?
The State of Connecticut Emergency Credentialing Program for Healthcare Professionals is a way to identify and pre-qualify volunteer healthcare providers who are licensed in Connecticut in advance of a large-scale disaster or public health emergency. Volunteers enrolled in the program help to ensure that Connecticuts citizens have uninterrupted access to vital healthcare services during a disaster or public health emergency – when they are needed the most. The Yale New Haven Center of Excellence for Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response administers the program for the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health.
