Why Should I Get Certified?

The National Consortium of Breast Centers identifies the purpose of certification as a means to set standards of achievement and the professional's role; enhance patient safety, quality of care and delivery of services; and recognize professionals who advance beyond basic knowledge in a field of specialty.

Becoming certified in the Breast Patient Navigator Program offers benefits to the individual professional, the employer, the patients and their families. Certified professionals enjoy greater confidence in providing services, more effective interactions with patients, and the possibility of career advancement. For employers, a professional certification offers an easy way to distinguish qualified personnel to fill a position, and ensures that an employee will be able to offer skilled care to patients.

Attending a Certification Program is an affordable way to prove an advanced skill set to an employer, and shows a dedication to providing excellent patient care. Contact the NCBC at (574) 267-8058 for specific information on pricing and regional offerings of the BPNC Program.
