I understand and agree that, as part of the credentialing application process for participation, membership and/or clinical privileges
(hereinafter, referred to as “Participation”) at or with each healthcare organization indicated on the “List of Authorized Organizations” that
accompanies this Application (hereinafter , each healthcare organization on the “List of Authorized Organizations” is individually referred
to as the “Entity”) and any of the Entity’s affiliated entities, I am required to provide sufficient and accurate information for a proper

extent permitted by law.
I acknowledge that each Entity has its own criteria for acceptance, and I may be accepted or rejected by each independently. I further
acknowledge and understand that my cooperation in obtaining information and my consent to the release of information does not
guarantee that any Entity will grant me clinical privileges or contract with me as a provider of services. I understand that my application
for participation with the Entity is not an application for employment with the Entity and that acceptance of my application by the Entity
will not result in my employment by the Entity.
Authorization of investigation concerning application for participation. I authorize the following individuals including, without
limitation, the Entity, its representatives, employees, and/or designated agents; the entity’s affiliated entities and their representatives,
employees and/or designated agents; and the Entity’s designated professional credentials verification organization (collectively referred

and/or its agent(s). I hereby further authorize the agent(s) to release disciplinary information about any disciplinary action taken against
me to its participating entities at which I have participation, and as may be otherwise required by law. As used herein, ‘Disciplinary
Action” means information concerning (i) any action taken by such health care organizations, their administrators, or their medical or
other committees to revoke, deny, suspend, restrict, or condition my participation or impose a corrective action plan; (ii) any other

Release from liability. I release from all liability and hold harmless any Entity, its agent(s), and any other third party for their acts
performed in good faith and without malice unless such acts are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Entity, its
