This survey of academic surgeons found that the majority believe that credentialing and privileging requirements for new procedures are not rigorous enough to ensure patient safety. They also felt that requirements should be tailored to individual surgical experience rather than standardized by procedure type. These results suggest that practicing surgeons would welcome examination of current credentialing and privileging to ensure patient safety.
