  • Entry supports career advancement and improved professional standing: "In my opinion, there is no greater professional reward than to be respected by one’s peer group," says Carol Cairns, CPMSM, CPCS, veteran CRC Symposium faculty member. Cairns considers the 2018 CRC Contests a unique opportunity "to honor the hardworking MSPs and medical staff leaders in our industry and to raise the profile of our profession through participation in a national recognition program." Plus, this prestigious recognition looks great on a résumé.
