Recertification

Discover LearningBuilder: ISMPP's New Certification Management Platform!

CMPP Recertification Application:

Click here to access the CMPP recertification application. Please note that the link will open the ISMPP member login page, and if you are not a current ISMPP member you will be prompted to pay a non-member administrative fee that includes a year of ISMPP membership before you may submit your recertification application.* Once this fee is paid, you will automatically be redirected to your CMPP recertification application in LearningBuilder.

*Although you may opt out of your ISMPP membership, the non-member administrative fee is required to submit your recertification application, and non-refundable. Renewing your ISMPP membership yearly is recommended, as it provides many opportunities to earn recertification credits, including free monthly ISMPP U webinars and access to member archives, which contain pre-approved ISMPP U recordings and conference sessions.

Note: To view the free recording and slides you will need to sign in to the ISMPP Learning Hub or sign up for a free account by clicking on "Sign Up" in the upper right corner in the ISMPP Learning Hub.

ATTENTION CMPPS: NEW EXTENDED CERTIFICATION CYCLE!

Beginning in 2022, all new and recertifying CMPP credentials will be valid for 5 years, or on a 5-year certification cycle! The current 3-year certification cycle has been extended to a 5-year cycle for CMPPs with a 2022 expiration date and future certifying or recertifying CMPPS.

The Certification Board is excited to have made this decision to:

  • Ensure our cycle duration is appropriate for the nature and maturity of our industry and the rate of change that occurs (NCCA Standards)
  • More closely align the cycle duration with other credentials in the healthcare industry
  • Simplify the recertification process by requiring fewer exams/recertifications

Recertification Information

For those certifying or recertifying in 2022 or later, their CMPP™ certification will be valid for five years, after which, certificants must apply to recertify. 

Recertification can be accomplished in one of two ways:

  • Retake the CMPP™ examination at a test center or online

  • Earn 50 recertification credits over the 5-year certification period

Documentation Required For CE Activities

  • For CMPPs planning to recertify via credit, you must have documentation to prove your participation for every activity for which you claim credit
  • See the CMPP Documentation Requirements for Earned CE Credits Quick Guide in the Resources below for detailed information
