How to judge a credential for allied health

While many practices choose to hire allied health staff that are already credentialed before they come on board, others are opting to help get their current staff certified. But with multiple options available for certification in allied health, how do you evaluate the choices? Which credentialing agency comes closest to meeting your need for employees who are proven competent to perform in your office?
Can we help? As the professional association for allied health since 1939, AMT has composed a list of questions for you to ask about a certification credential. These considerations can help you ensure that your credentialed staff meet your practice standards.

Take a look at the questions.

We have helped many thousands of working professionals become certified. For the specifics, contact AMT at srp@americanmedtech.org or 847-823-5169 ext. 390.
