I kept a simple GitLab board to track state license, DEA, and Conrad 30 uploads by due date — felt like herding EEG leads, but it saved me when credentialing suddenly wanted ‘primary source’ proofs the same week… If your employer prefers Jira or bans outside tools, mirror the checklist in their system and just use GitLab for your own reminders.

@jjacks45 What saved me on a neuro start was keeping a single ‘privileges packet’ PDF (ABPN cert, stroke/EMU logs, malpractice loss run) and reattaching that same file to every portal/task — when credentialing circled back, it was one-click; only caveat is to refresh the cover page date monthly so they don’t call it stale.
