is unlike any other program offered in the industry. Certification through CGIH will denote that you have successfully demonstrated skills mastery of the body of knowledge established as a minimum requirement to coordinate patient care and travel arrangements for patients seeking internationally and domestically integrated medical care from outside their home communities. Through exams, case studies and field demonstrations, your active Certification denotes your ability to utilize the Body of Knowledge for practical application, and set you apart and above other community facilitators.
The certification is a three step process:
First an applicant must submit a portfolio of information about their business history, professional liability insurance and business establishment, and professional references to demonstrate that he/she is actively engaged in the profession of medical travel facilitation.
The second step is an examination covering all core areas of the Body of Knowledge. A passing score of 92% is required to meet Certification requirements.
To continue to Advanced Status and Fellowship, a third step is to select one project that will serve as the applicant's thesis. This project may be completed as part of the applicant's job or as a result of their training/education. The subject and methodology of the thesis project must be approved by a peer review panel. A peer review panel will also evaluate the finished thesis and a required oral presentation to be presented at the Annual Institute of the Council.
The Council will enlist the assistance of psychometrists who will validate the testing and metrics to ensure that the program meets its professional development objectives.
