Clinical Excellence Certification
What makes an exceptional clinician?
The ICE certification track requires successful completion of eight core courses that together build a strong, actionable foundation in the key areas required to practice at the top of our profession. With all course work completed the clinician sits for a live comprehensive written and practical exam offered every year on the Friday before our ICE Sampler event. Required core courses can be found on this page.
Registration for the ICE Sampler covers the cost of your certification exam.
Please plan to be in the Nashville, TN area on Friday, April 28th for the 2023 Certification Exam.
