	This is the MOST important and critical step in starting work at YKHC. The Alaska licensing board is a long and laborious process, even if you are straight out of residency. They verify medical training, residency, all work history, all previous medical credentialing and all state licenses that you have held. There is a tremendous amount of paperwork to complete and it takes a LONG time to be reviewed and approved. There is NO hurrying the process. You must be polite and persistent in following up and check regularly with them to make sure they have all the documents they need… They do not let you know when there is a hold up in your file because of missing documentation.
