Joining the Children's National Medical Staff
Credentials
Physicians and psychologists joining Children’s National Hospital with the intention of caring for patients will need to obtain medical staff credentials.

These vary by your job description and practice location(s), but may include one or more of the following:
- D.C. Medical License
- Maryland Medical License
- Virginia Medical License
- West Virginia Medical License
- D.C. Psychology License
- Maryland Psychology License (if you will practice in Maryland)
- Virginia Psychology License (if you will practice in Virginia)
- Federal DEA Registration
- D.C. Controlled Substances Registration
- Maryland Controlled Substances Registration
- Virginia Controlled Substances Registration
Obtaining Provider Numbers for Regional Payors
Children’s National will send professional bills on your behalf. The Medical Staffing Office will guide you through the process of obtaining the crucial “provider numbers” that allow Children’s National to be reimbursed for your services. Please follow through on this process as expeditiously as you can. For questions, please contact Medical Staffing at MedStaff@childrensnational.org.
