Various, of course, so by fields for nurses, our largest, it's about 3 months of training once they sign.

So And we do we do job fairs where we sign right at that fair.

The physician have a often a longer time to credential.

So for example, I, as a primary care at Guggenier, I'm not only credentialed by how and hospitals, but I'm credentialed by 12 other insurance programs that we work with, each of which requires an individual form and sign sure.

So the there's usually about a 3 month period for a physician before they can even start work.
0:29:12
And then how long it takes for them to be able to take a patient load is very dependent on which area within neurosurgeon, a dentist.

But I'd say in general, it's 4 to 6 weeks.
