Who is Eligible for HealthSciences Institute's Chronic Care Professional (CCP) Certification

The WHO, IOM, and leading consumer advocacy groups, emphasize that chronic care improvement and patient-centered care require a shared vision and the active engagement of professionals from many disciplines. As such, any professional working in health care or a health care-related field is eligible for CCP certification.

Nurses and advanced practice nurses, case managers, physicians, pharmacists, dieticians, rehabilitation therapists, social workers, psychologists, respiratory therapists, exercise physiologists, among others, have all completed CCP certification.

CCP certification is also often recommended for non-clinical team members such as community health educators, program leaders, or consultants who also support health and chronic care improvement. In rural settings and developing countries, CCP certification can prepare informal community care providers to better serve underserved populations at risk of or affected by chronic conditions.
