Provider Degrees/Credentials
Include only the degrees and credentials in the provider’s display name that authorize the provider to perform their specific clinical role. Do not include any degrees or credentials that do not pertain to the job they perform as a UAMS Health provider.
Because a long list of credentials can overpower a name, individuals may choose not to list all earned credentials or honors. For those individuals, they should make sure that they display the credentials that pertain to the job they perform.

In order to maintain consistency, the options available in the Degrees field is primarily limited to those that are represented in the UAMS Provider Enrollment Participation Portal (a.k.a. Echonet). Note that the UAMS Provider Enrollment Participation Portal is only accessible on the UAMS network or by connecting through virtual private network.
Others may be included if it is proven that they are the degree(s) and/or credential(s) that authorize the provider to perform their specific clinical role. Reach out to UAMS Web Services with information regarding any additional necessary degrees aor credentials.
