At TMG, we’ve always stood with Medical Services Professionals (MSPs). We’ve trained them, championed them, and celebrated their critical role in healthcare. But as the healthcare landscape continues to shift, so does the work—and the workforce—within medical staff services. That’s why we’re redefining what medical staff services means and expanding our reach to include every Provider Lifecycle Professional (PLP).
Provider Lifecycle Professionals work across credentialing, licensing, enrollment, and quality. Some hold traditional titles like Medical Staff Coordinator or Credentialing Specialist. Others work in provider enrollment, managed care organizations, licensure, or regulatory compliance. What connects us all is the work: managing a provider’s journey from recruitment to practice to renewal, ensuring compliance, patient safety, and organizational integrity every step of the way.
For too long, this work has been siloed—separated by department, title, or employer. But the truth is, whether you’re licensing a recent graduate, credentialing a surgeon, enrolling a behavioral health provider in Medicaid, or managing a facility’s NCQA audit, you’re part of the same essential ecosystem. You’re a Provider Lifecycle Professional.
At TMG, we’re evolving to reflect that reality. We’re not leaving MSPs behind—we’re making sure no one doing this vital work is left out.
This evolution isn’t about rebranding for the sake of it. It’s about recognition, unity, and belonging. We know the value of this work and the people who do it—regardless of the setting, the job title, or the department name. That’s why TMG now offers education, resources, and community that speak to the full spectrum of roles that keep providers compliant and patients safe.
We’re redefining medical staff services not by narrowing it, but by opening it up.
This means:
- Courses that address licensing and enrollment, credentialing and quality
- Certifications that acknowledge interdisciplinary expertise
- Networking spaces where everyone who touches the provider lifecycle feels seen and supported
- Resources that reflect the diversity and complexity of the work
We know change can be uncomfortable. Titles matter. Identity matters. Many of us have built careers proudly calling ourselves MSPs—and rightly so. TMG will never stop honoring that legacy. But we’re also creating space for what’s next.
The provider lifecycle is a continuum. So is your career. So is our industry. TMG is here to support every professional along the way.
We believe in growing the field, elevating the work, and building a professional community that mirrors the real world—not outdated org charts.
Together, we’re redefining medical staff services—expanding the definition, strengthening the profession, and shaping the future.
If you work in this field, you belong here.
