Our standards

A credential issued here means something specific.

We operate under public-interest standards rather than membership-revenue incentives. The same review pathway applies to every applicant.

Independent Review
Every application is evaluated by credentialing committees outside the applicant's referral network.
Public Accountability
All issued credentials are searchable in our public registry, including status, scope, and standing.
Continuing Education
Active holders must demonstrate ongoing competency through tracked CE hours and re-attestations.
Education Verification
Original transcripts, supervised practice, and clinical hours are verified before approval.
