BECOME BOARD CERTIFIED

IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Certification is a voluntary mechanism for validating professional

knowledge and expertise in a specialty.  In contrast to licensure,

which assures the public of safe practice at a beginning level,

certification reflects specialty practice and knowledge at

a proficient level. By meeting the challenge of certification,

the certified individual has made a commitment to a specialty

and to continued professional growth and development.

Certification is recognized by employers and peers as

an achievement and leads to employment opportunities,

advancement, and professional prestige.
