RESUMO
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have been providing safe anesthesia to their patients using the anesthesia team model; this has allowed access to care for patients that have significant anxiety. The AAOMS strives to maintain the excellent safety record of the anesthesia team model by creating simulation programs in anesthesia, regularly updating the office anesthesia evaluation program, convening anesthesia safety conferences and strengthening the standards in our training programs. Through these efforts, our delivery of anesthesia to our patients will remain safe and effective.

Understanding the credentialing and privileging process is important for all practitioners. Whether applying to a medical staff for the first time, participating in the reappointment process, applying for new privileges, or challenging a clinical privilege denial, the practitioner needs to understand the process and know his or her rights. This article should assist the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the organizations providing credentials and privileges to make the process less difficult and more efficient.
