From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Healthcare professional credentials are credentials awarded to healthcare practitioners as a way to standardize level of education and ability to provide care. In many countries the credentials are seen behind the name of the practitioner in order of most pertinent to least pertinent (i.e., Jane Doe, PhD, RN, CCRN).
